Application launcher new

[bvpainter]

I have just upgraded to KDE 5.4, but cannot find the new application launcher. Can anyone tell me how to install this widget. Do I have to download a new plasmoid ?

What about the other new features such as the new icons.

If your upgrade to the KDE Plasma 5.4 /1, 2/ was successful then there should be KDE launchers:



The new 'Application Dashbord':



Icons:




If you look the upgraded package numbers /3, 4, 5/ they should have the 5.4.0 as the version.

You should also find it by right-clicking on the Kmenu and selecting "Alternatives"
15.04 does not yet have 5.4available via kubuntu-backports ppa, so Vivid users will not see this just yet.

This must be the reason. Any idea when 15.04 will be available in kubuntu-backports, or is there another way of upgrading.

No eta, but it will be some time after it is all finished in Wily, then it will be backported to Vivid
