3) I'm expecting the different categories of applications to have their
respective icons as well
4) they do not have icons
I'm providing some coding I did, which is working for the english language.
It couldn't be added to the apps package, because every time I have to
implement it manually.
That way it could resemble old ubuntu where different categories were
accompanied by their respective icons.
const APPLICATION_ICON_SIZE = 24; /changes the size of subcategory application
e.g. from Games Chess/(if we want bigger icons then change 24 to 32 and change
also the line):const MENU_HEIGHT_OFFSET = 182; /changes height of menu 132/
class CategoryMenuItem extends PopupMenu.PopupBaseMenuItem {static
{GObject.registerClass(this);}
constructor(button, category) {
super();
this._category = category;
this._button = button;
this._oldX = -1;
this._oldY = -1;
//Add icons to categories
//in newer shell versions could start from here
let Icon = new St.Icon();
if (this._category)
{var catname = this._category.get_name();
