Plasma Active Application

KDE plasma applet to show the active application name. Thought to be used in a panel together with plasma's global menu.

Motivation

Unfortunately AWC does not seem to be maintained anymore. The experience from the official plasma global menu is currently better, but it is currently missing the active application name.

Features

Easy replacements through the configuration interface (see issue #1 for instructions)
Maximaze/Restore (double-click) or close (middle-click)
Full window title tooltip
Configurable: Bold text, Show window icon, Spacing (Left, Right and in between of Icon and AppName), No window text (activity friendly), No window icon
