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!!!

Miss 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).

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

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.

a very good substitute - Version: 1.8, 4/2/2007 09:53PM PST

I could never really warm up to the Dock, nor have I been able to develop much affection for the new Finder in Mac OS X. I missed the OS 9 Apple Menu. I tried a couple of the other OS 9 Apple Menu replacements, but this one seems to function the smoothest on my system. The black and white icon in the menu bar is not very attractive, but it works great. I appreciate having this software. Now, if only I could find an application switcher and get rid of the Dock.

Great job! - Version: 1.8, 3/12/2007 05:06AM PST

Works great. Very handy. As others have stated before me. Why dis Apple remove this?
One minor flaw. The 2 xmenu icons i have(docs and programs)show up to the right of the Spotlight-icon. Initially they showed up to the left of Spotlight.
Same thing happened on another mac. Like I said. Only cosmetic. Still a great app.

Remove the empty XMenu folder, and then create the following symbolic link:
cd Library
ln -s FruitMenu\ Items XMenu
cd Library
ln -s FruitMenu\ Items XMenu

Works great on intel iMac - Version: 1.7, 4/11/2006 05:53PM PST

Fruitmenu, in which I have invested $7, does not work on intel currently. So I sought out alternatives. This is very nice, and I also like the fact that it is not a hack. If only there was a way to get it into the Blue apple thing on the left.
Great work, and thanks for making it free.
