https://raw.githubusercontent.com/The-Panacea-Projects/Gnomenu/master/Screenshot.png), same as ours/mintmenu, only better.
add a printer applet
sound: add an option to switch sound to HDMI when an HDMI output device is plugged
hidpi issues: top of mint menu is cut off in HiDPI (1920×1280)
gnome-system-monitor moves out of place in Expo
when battery is very low, battery icon isn't red.. 2% charge, with less than 5 minutes to go, still not red.. bar is red in CCC, icon is red in notification.. but not in applet (and also not in the CCC icon itself either)
When using Cinnamon bar at top, and secondary monitor with higher height than the main display, some apps like KDE Apps (Krita, Kdenlive) or Wine Based Apps (teamviewer) will display menus from toolbar in the wrong place. Being more specific: The menus will be displayed in the position that they should be displayed at main monitor, however in this case the window is maximized in the secondary monitor.
accessibility: ability to select files by hovering them
menu: use search providers to search local files
mate 1.16
swith MATE to GTK3
switch mintmenu to GTK3
sound events vs sound themes

libindicator++?
xed
sublime-like search bar
xreader
should place its menu item in the accessories category instead of office
xplayer/xviewer/xreader/pix
add a persistant option to blank other monitors when in full screen
xapps

mintupdate:
provide a CLI (to let people upgrade automatically)
mintwelcome:
consider accompanying the user and hinting at things he/she might want to do (codecs, popular settings, popular apps etc..)
mintsources:
Select all button in foreign pkgs:
https://github.com/linuxmint/mintsources/issues/59
mintinstall:
when apt cache is missing, it just says not available. Instead it could tell the user or even help the user to refresh the cache.
redesign main page to feature essential apps
use aptdaemon?
aptdaemon doesn't work in LMDE and is being abandoned upstream
in mintupdate, remove dep on synaptic, remove admin rights for checkAPT.py
in mintwelcome and codec menu entry, switch from apturl to aptdaemon
in mintsources, remove dep on synaptic
remove synaptic from default selection
remove synaptic from mintmenu's favorites
HiDPI support:
pix: huge menubar
upstream apps using GTK2: Banshee, Gimp, Hexchat, VLC, Pidgin, Tomboy.
mint projects using GTK2: mdmsetup, mintinstall, mintsources, gksu, cinnamon's mount dialog (seen when asking for a password for an encrypted external HDD).
mintlocale: fixed-size flag icons
mintupload: use icon names rather than path to SVG
mintwelcome: don't use 32px png icons
