Menumaker

Jul 20, 2023

MenuMaker is application finding and menu generation utility. It is capable of finding lots of installed programs and generating the root menu consistent across all supported X window managers, so one will get almost the same menu no matter what WM is currently used. It is pure Python application hence it runs on every relevant system.
