<DIV>Hey Simon, That is helpful, I didn't realize there were additional menu
options when right clicking on the menu. <BR><BR></DIV>We were actually looking
to get the descriptions when hovering the mouse over the application. The option
you suggested lists them under the name and makes the menus much longer. Not
saying we're necessarily against this option, but thought the hover over as
we've had in the past might be best?<BR><BR></DIV>Also just saw the "show
generic application names" option which we're thinking about as well, because
the KDE names for a lot of the educational programs can be confusing to first
time computer users.<BR><BR></DIV>So I guess my question is still, Is there a
way to get the hover over descriptions?<BR></DIV>

Jeff,<BR><BR>Great to hear! :)<BR>You can simply go to the setting of
whiskermenu (that's the name of the new applications menu we're shipping) and
tick the option "Show application descriptions".<BR>It won't show tooltips,
but it should do what you want (if I understood you
correctly).<BR><BR>Cheers<BR>Simon<BR><BR><BR>On Tue, 29 Apr 2014 16:44:15

<DIV class=h5>> 14.04 and so far we love it! But we van give a great review
