Wing Menu is an alternative menu plugin for lxqt-panel

It has two columns instead of the "classic menu" and was inspired by Xfce's Whisker Menu

Compile and install plugin:

# clone repo
git clone https://github.com/elviosak/plugin-wingmenu.git

# cd into folder
cd plugin-wingmenu

# run install script
bash install.sh

Note: it's not well integrated with actual LXQt Themes, try it with "System" theme and "Fusion" widget style.

WIP branch for Wing Menu styling in themes: https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt-themes/tree/wing-menu-fixes

If everything was successful, you should have a new plugin ready to be added to your panel, named Wing Menu (wingmenu).
