Greetings,
How does one configure the Launch Menu? That is, how can I add, remove, or
edit the items in the Launch Menu?
Also, is there any documentation for writing Shelf plug-ins, and will the
code for existing plug-ins be posted? The reason why I ask is because, IMHO,
a Separator that used a discreet amount of space could be useful as well as
a drawer that behaved somewhat like the Launch Menu. (I am happy to put some
code where my mouth is ;o)
If it was the intention to make the Launch Menu 'similar to the Windoze
‘Start Menu’ then the items should highlight when the mouse is over them
(which looks better IMO) and the menu items should expand (which makes
navigating smoother).
Having said that, I think a drawer with those capabilities (as options)
would be visually more appealing and functionally more integrated.

Look in $HOME/.ph/launch_menu.xml
When you want to try it out, run launchmenu_notify.

I belive that docs will be released in the near future. And source.

Hold down the mouse button while you explore and it will behave this way.

I see. I also notice that there are items in $HOME/.ph/launch_menu.log. What
is the relationship between these files? I assume that the .log file is
updated by the package manager.

I await with baited breath ;o) How about any information about how to
package software so it can be installed by the package manager?

Great, might be a thought to make this an option though for us Windoze
converts.
Many Thanks,
