I have written a post about Slingshot Launcher and how to configure it on XFCE. Slingshot is an application which can display fullscreen menu. Slingshot was originally developed by Elementary OS team. If you are using KDE desktop, you can perform such task by using Takeoff. Takeoff is a plasma widget which inspired in the aspect of Slingshot, and of course, it can display menu in fullscreen mode just like Slingshot.
Install Takeoff on various Linux distributions
Ubuntu
Add this PPA to your system:
- sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ferramroberto/oneiricextra
