If you edit the ConfigUnitComboBox.qml file and use version 2.0 it should work after closing and reopening the config.

It'll show all apps at once. There will be no filtering the list with "subcategory buttons" like the Application Dashboard. You can easily switch to Sort+GroupBy categories.
I haven't written it yet, since I'd need to rewrite the AppList from a ListView to multiple GridViews, which requires re-thinking keyboard navigation from Up/Down, to include Left/Right as well, as well as jump from GridView to GridView like Application Dashboard does.
I might do a A-Z "JumpTo" along the scrollbar like the Android app list.

* It had a switch between Recent/MostUsed, A-Z. However it doesn't have a "categories" toggle. It separates all subcategories on the right side instead of showing the subcategories on the left side. I agree that you should be able to "scroll" the categories (as I've done in TiledMenu).
* It doesn't have a convenient toggle between compact and fullscreen mode. Tbh it should only switch between modes when it detects a touch.
* It doesn't have small icons for MyUser, Dolphin, System Settings (Like TiledMenu). It does have power options however.
I don't use a fullscreen dashboard menu atm, so I wouldn't iterate development on it even if I did mock it up in QML.
The compact view can already be achieved with TiledMenu by settings columns to 0.
You can try your hand at forking the Application Dashboard (kickerdash) with:
* https://zren.github.io/kde/docs/widget/
Note that kickerdash reuses the kicker source code (which is why the kickerdash folder is empty). So fork org.kde.plasma.kicker, then edit isDash in main.qml to true. Edit DashboardRepresentation.qml to modify the fullscreen view.
* https://github.com/KDE/plasma-desktop/blob/master/applets/kicker/package/contents/ui/main.qml#L36
* https://github.com/KDE/plasma-desktop/blob/master/applets/kicker/package/contents/ui/DashboardRepresentation.qml
I wouldn't fork TiledMenu until you understand kicker, as I parse `Kicker.RootModel` from "an array of arrays" to "a simple array", which works better in a QML ListView with section headings.
The DashboardRepresentation uses multiple QML GridViews, so the "array of arrays" structure `RootModel` uses is better. QML's GridView doesn't have "section headings", so kicker has a ItemMultiGridView.

Then add this line:

So that the qdbus commands are qdbus-qt5. Then relog to restart the panel. The widget should work then.
No idea why you only have qdbus-qt5 on that machine. I'll look into using that command by default in the next version. - Dec 09 2019

All this widget does is call one of these terminal commands to trigger the keyboard shortcut.

The only other thing I can think of, is that you only have 0-1 windows open, as the effect does nothing when there's only 1 window. - Dec 09 2019

Try running:

* Enable "debugging" in the config (right click the window).
* Configure it to be logged into google, and display whatever google related settings you have configured in the panel.
* Then tell me (by email as it'll be personal info) the log when you discover the "windowed widget" is no longer in sync like you experience in the panel.

If the color is too bright, you can make it darker (or more transparent).
Making it a "glassy aero button" like win7 would be a bit of work since I haven't tried to do a glassy effect before. - Oct 19 2019

It looks like Kubuntu 18.04 only has Frameworks 5.44, and the "checked" feature was added in 5.46 which is why it's not breaking earlier and complaining about Kirigami.FormLayout which was adding in Frameworks 5.42.
You can manually delete the outline control in:
~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/com.github.zren.simpleweather/contents/ui/config/ConfigGeneral.qml
and opening the config should work.
-----
Normally I would recommend installing the Kubuntu Backports, as it looks like it has the KDE Frameworks 5.47. But since you still get Plasma Desktop 5.12 with the backports there isn't much point I think.
* https://zren.github.io/kde/#kubuntu-backports-ppa

* plasma-framework 5.47.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu18.04~ppa1

I'm using the newer "plasma config" API, so I guess it's breaking. I could upload an older version of the widget without the "outline color" feature, or... just not using that api feature... lame. - Sep 27 2019

Here's what it looks like with my previous instructions. Notice how the button is about ~48px wide? That's because it's limited by the "System Settings > Icons > Configure Icon Size > Panel" size. It's more noticeable in my screenshot since my panel is only 30px tall so the icon is scaled down to ~24px.

return height;

Simple10 uses 50px sidebar button area, with 16px icons (17px padding).
It would be trivial to make those sizes configurable to the user. I do remember measuring a 50px wide sidebar on one Windows PC, so MS might have change the size.
He uses desktop theme svgs for button highlights, where as I tried to emulate the hover effects and animations. I never did get around to adding the hover effect to the sidebar though. - Jul 21 2019
Plasma 5 Menus by Zren 316 comments
* Uses 'system-file-manager-symbolic' instead of 'folder-open-symbolic' for dolphin in the sidebar. Breeze does not have that symbolic icon, so it uses "system-file-manager" instead, which is the blue dolphin icon. You would need to use his icon theme to get that look.
* Uses 'configure-symbolic' instead of 'configure' for systemsettings in the sidebar. This is a gray icon in the default "Breeze" icon set, and will look ugly for most users unless they use his icon theme. The breeze icon needs fixing as it doesn't appear to follow the color scheme, which is a bug in breeze I think.
* Places the logout/power submenus above the buttons instead of on the side. Since it no longer needs to be the same height as the sidebar icons to look good, the height of the submenu items is shorter. The submenu popup also has top/bottom padding. The compact nature means the mouse has to travel less, making it more usable.
I may implement the submenu stuff, since it's more usable than it is currently. I rarely use the power button so I haven't been eating that dog food enough to be annoyed enough to change it.
I could ship and hardcode the symbolic system settings + dolphin icons I guess...
----
Other stuff:
* Removes the tile grid.
* Removes the "hover outline effect".
* Removes the ability to show category view, replacing the alphabetical view icon with the windows icon.
* Removed the default "windows white" search box theme, forcing it to use the "plasma desktop theme" style text field.
* Removed the panUp animation when you start a search. I could make the animation optional i guess.
* Forces the panel icon to be very large (same size as the sidebar icons) which may be larger than panel can support. Looks great when you have a thick panel though.

Tile Background Color
He's planning to have the icon bg color manually configured by the user, like my tile editor. Not knocking it, but ideally this would be automatically generated, with the option to manually override the color.

I'm not sure if Latte needs this, but open Tiled Menu's settings and make sure it has a Keyboard Shortcut like Alt+F1. Plasmashell needs a shortcut set, but I'm not 100% sure Latte does.
