DESCRIPTION
XMenu 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.

DANA SUTTON  Since FriutMenu broke under Leopard and it has taken Unsanity so long to develop even a buggy beta, I've shopped around for a replacement. After trying various alternatives, I settled on XMenu as the best, largely because it runs as an application rather than any kind of a system mod., and so is completely non-invasive. In the XMenu folder in User>Library I I've set up a bunch of folders (utilities, applications, documents, a nested folder containng my URLs, one for my current work project, etc.) so I have a fantastic amount of stuff at my fingertips. Then, just to make things even better, I used KeyboardMaestro to assign an F-key to the XMenu folder, now I can access all my stuff either by pulling down the menu or from my keyboard. All this took a couple of hours of creating and storing aliases, but in the end I had set up an insanely great storage/navigation system with no worries about destabilizing my system or surviving future major OS upgrades. This, as I say, involved some work, but it didn't cost me a penny.  (Version 1.8.1)

FRANCOLA  Thank You very much for this awesome app. 1 issue though. When I run an automator script it pushes the XMenu icon over then it does not move back. :(  (Version 1.8.1)
