I\u2019m pleased to announce the release of two new Xfce Panel applets, Focus Menu and Launch Menu, which reproduce functionality that existed on vintage Apple computers, from System 7 up to Mac OS 9.<\/p>\n
Focus Menu works similarly to the application switcher menu, displaying a list of programs, as well as commands that allow their windows to be hidden or shown. Launch Menu works similarly to the Apple menu, showing a list of files, folders and programs that the user manually placed into the special Launch Menu Items folders.<\/p>\n
Read about each release, and also my attempts to anticipate all the common questions, on their respective GitHub pages:<\/p>\n
