10.4: Make the Dictionary safer and easier to use
Authored by: AndySpry on Nov 09, '05 10:54:17AM

You can also get "Start" menu like behavior using Unsanity's FruitMenu.

I've used it since OS X 10.1 to get back the capabilities of modifying the Apple Menu that disapperared in OS X. Using FruitMenu you can organize folders with application aliases as mentioned above. Then this organized hierarchy of applications (or documents and other folders) becomes part of the pull down Apple menu as it used to be in later versions of the classic Mac OS.

I keep my core applicastions in the dock but I keep most of the rest of the applications I use organized on my Apple menu. I only need to go to the Applications folder to find the more esoteric things like Disk Utility or iSync.

Mac user since 1984 OS 1.0.

10.4: Make the Dictionary safer and easier to use
Authored by: magnamous on Nov 11, '05 01:59:47PM
I used to use FruitMenu, and I rather liked it. But I noticed that the more programs one opens, the more memory FruitMenu takes up. Since then, I've turned to XMenu (scroll to the bottom) and I've grown to really like it. It took some getting used to at first (moving the cursor to the upper-right corner of the screen instead of upper-left), but it's fast, efficient, and I can have as many sub-menus as I want. (Needless to say, it doesn't use up nearly as much RAM as FruitMenu can.)
