budgie mini-apps - see the individual components for details
- Budgie Extras Daemon
- Budgie Wallstreet
- Budgie Quickchar (needs the extras daemon as a runtime dependency)
- Budgie Window Previews (needs the extras daemon as a runtime dependency)
- Budgie Shuffler (needs the extras daemon as a runtime dependency)
- Budgie Hotcorners (needs shuffler daemon as a runtime dependency for full functionality)
By default all recommended applets are compiled and installed:
git clone https://github.com/ubuntubudgie/budgie-extras
cd budgie-extras
git submodule init
git submodule update
mkdir build && cd build
meson --buildtype plain --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib
ninja -v
sudo ninja install
If individual applets (or groups of applets) are to be compiled and installed use
the options described in meson_options.txt i.e. use -Dbuild-recommended=false -Dbuild-appletoption=true
e.g. to build just the hotcorners and weathershow applets (remember to git clone and git submodule etc as above)
mkdir build && cd build
meson --buildtype -Dbuild-recommended=false -Dbuild-hotcorners=true -Dbuild-weathershow=true --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib
ninja -v
sudo ninja install
For wayland use the build option -Dfor-wayland=true
We love Budgie-Extras to work across as many distros as possible. Budgie Extras should be packaged as individual applets - NOT as one "budgie-extras" package, so that end users can install one or more applets. Please let us know if your distro has packaged budgie-extras and how to install each applet.
- Arch - https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/budgie-extras/ NOTE - this installs everything rather than allowing per applet installation
- Ubuntu - use the ubuntu-budgie-welcome snap - and install via Menu - Budgie Applets
- Debian - packages are available in Buster and later named "budgie-insertname-applet" https://goo.gl/R4eF7q
- Gentoo - Overlay for budgie desktop including budgie-extras https://gitlab.com/SarahMia/sarahmiaoverlay
Individual applets/mini apps have build and runtime dependencies. These are described by https://github.com/UbuntuBudgie/budgie-extras/blob/debian/debian/control
The overall license for the project is GPL-3+. It is important to note, various individual source files varies from this and git-submodules have a separate licensing.
