Works in Leopard - Version: 1.2.4, 12/2/2007 10:58PM PST

Seems fully functional in Leopard 10.5.1 save for the "Sort by group" option. Uses the correct icons for prefpanes and toggling "Tiny icons" works without the need to log out.
Tiger usage tip found by accident… - Version: 1.2.4, 3/12/2006 03:42PM PST

I love this old but excellent tool, but it seems to be forgotten by its developer. I can't complain, because it was free and still works well enough in Tiger.
Custom icons for Apple Pref Panes no longer work, but third party icons still appear. It's annoying from an aesthetic point of view, but otherwise is not a big deal. Apple must have moved the icon location for their pref panes in Tiger.
Changing preference options does not see to work, but I stumbled across the solution. Make your changes (which will seem to be ignored) and then restart. Whatever you chose will be in effect after restarting the computer.

I've used this little life saver since the beginning and I love that it is free. I have installed it on all of my customer's machines and several now can't live without it. When Tiger came out and I realized that PrefsMenu was somewhat broken, I contact the developer, who quickly responded that a new version was on the way. That was way back in May. Still for a free product, I can't complain too much. PrefsMenu still works in Tiger well enough: selecting an icon still opens the associated preference pane; however, most icons are generic (primarily the Apple icons), and finally the "Sort by…" and "Tiny icons" selections do not seem to work. However, I have pleasantly discovered that logging out and logging back in (restarting works too), will change the option that seemed to not work before. So, select the change from the menu and then log out. Works every time. I sure hope a new version arrives soon.
