Cardapio Description

A lean application menu and launcher for GNOME Cardapio is a software, a menu that can work in two modes: as a panel applet (in which case it is an alternative to Gnome's application menu applet) or as a stand-alone launcher (in which case it is an alternative to the simplest use-cases of Gnome Do). It features a beautiful gtk-native interface, and includes plugins for performing inline Tracker and Google searches.Installation:In Ubuntu, run the following commands on your terminal:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cardapio-team/unstablesudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install cardapioIn other distributions:bzr clone lp:cardapiocd cardapiosudo make installcd ..sudo rm -rf cardapioNote that Cardapio's Tracker plugin requires Tracker 0.9 or above.
