Old Menu - Classic Side-Menu

Fixed Width Version, Menu on the left side for owncloud.

Advantages compared to the default menu of owncloud / nextcloud are reduced clicks to open an application, as the sidebar is always visible on wide screens (wider than 1100px). Otherwise on smaller screens the standard drop-down menu is available. It lays the focus more on all installed apps and not only on the files app.

Forked by Michael Träger from https://github.com/SansPseudoFix/Old_menu. This version is without the tiny Icons (therefore normal sized) and with a fix max-width of 100px for the Menu. It looks like the original old menu.

Complications

Problems could arise when using this app with the original old_menu app.

Change Menu Color

For use with NextCloud-Blue use

background-color: #0082c9; 

instead of #1d2d44 for Owncloud.

You can remove this line also for dark grey.

Possible Problems

On upgrades of owncloud / nextcloud the acces rights have to be correct. If you cloned or extracted with wrong user permissions, you have to chown (and maybe also chmod +w) the installation directory of this app.
