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.

  • NEW Italian and Swedish localizations.

XMenu CommentaryMiss the old icon - Version: 1.8.1, 2/3/2008 12:00AM PST

The latest version of XMenu is using the lame blue Applications folder icon from 10.5. I miss the plain old black & white icons from the last version. (this is the only colored icon that I have in my menu bar, so it looks out of place).

XMenu Troubleshooting ReportLatest system update, odd behavior - Version: 1.8, 4/11/2007 12:45AM PST

X-caiver (X-caiver.com)
One of the most recent software updates has caused XMenu to display incorrectly. I'm on 10.4.9, I'm not positive if it was the 10.4.9 update itself or just one of the recent updates (i.e. a security update).

The problem is that the XMenu icon now loads as the right-most icon, even to the right of the Spotlight icon. The problem is that the 'curved' part of the menu draws to the right of hte Spotlight icon... so the XMenu icon is out beyond the curved edge of the menu bar!

The workaround of command-clicking, selecting preferences and toggling 'draw to the left...' will get the icon back in the menu bar like it is supposed to be, but that is a real hassle to do every time I log on.
