Product Description:

This program brings back the Apple Menu to Mac OS X and includes also a complete application launcher. By adding one or more global menus to the right side of the menu bar you can easily access your preferred applications, folders (and subfolders), documents and files. Furthermore there's no explicit need for a configuration (e.g. creating lots of folders and aliases or adding items to user-defined setups) - just activate the menus you like. All menus and submenus update themselves automatically just like the good old Apple Menu so it's not necessary to refresh them manually. In addition, XMenu optionally displays small or large icons and follows aliases and symbolic links. Finally, please note that contrary to most other solutions, this is neither a hack ("haxie") nor an unofficial menu extra.

What's new in this version:

NEW 'Snippets' menu ('~/Library/Application Support/XSnippets/') to easily insert documents and files into the current applica- tion. Supports e.g. plain and rich text files, text clippings and Internet locations.
NEW Right clicking on an XMenu item in the menu bar opens the alternate menu to access preferences etc.
Improved User-defined folder is now '~/Library/Application Support/ XMenu/', existing folder is automatically moved to the new location
Improved Menu icons updated.
Improved Internal enhancements.
Fixed Showing info (by pressing the Command modifier key) in Finder did not work if the file name contained quotes.

Classic Menu is much better - and it places the menu where it should be: at the LEFT not the RIGHT.

I hadn't heard of XMenu until today, and already I'm hooked. Great little utility that brings back the power of Apple's OS 9 Application menu. I don't care how pretty the Dock looks, it's really not much of a productivity enhancement, and even worse I hate chasing a moving target with my cursor. I've created my own user defined XMenu and I'm pretty sure I won't be using the Dock as much anymore. The only think it doesn't do that the Application Menu did was indicate which applications are currently running. No biggee... But the price sure is right: free. You get a lot more than what you paid for with XMenu. Thanks!!!
