The Motivation

People who would want Fly-Pie, but are not on Gnome.

The Solution

Providing installation instructions and limited support for environments without the Gnome DE. So that I can use some or most of Fly-Pie features on KDE. This might increase the number of support requests even if an appendix were to be added to the readme saying that only Gnome is officially supported.

The Alternatives

  • Potential users switch to Gnome if the pile of awesome software on Gnome grows very large.
  • Potential users continue using Gnome-Pie for as long as possible and avoid looking at videos or screenshots of Fly-Pie.
  • Fully supporting non-Gnome DE-s.

Thank you for the request! And yes, this is kind of an obvious thing to come up with and has been requested multiple times already. I've given an answer in #22. More in-depth information can be found here.

I think that I will leave this issue open, so that others do not need to create similar issues.

If anybody want's to try creating a stand-alone gjs application based on Fly-Pie, I would happily provide support! But the limitations I listed in the linked pages above will be very hard to overcome...

Feel free to close it as well. I personally searched the closed issues as well, but I only used the keyword "KDE". 🤦‍♀️. Some people might not find it unless you make this (or #22 ) a pinned issue. Thanks for your attention and the thorough response and the awesome software!

That's a good idea!
