In Add command, the fact that Select from installed applications appears at the same level of the other fields makes the user think that he needs to use both. Worse, when clicking on some application, it is not immediately visible that it has been added. Adding headers is even less intuitive: it needs to be done under Add command (though a header is not a command) and there's no mention of headers there (I didn't know headers were possible until I saw screenshots).

So, I suggest that the Add button should be split into 3 buttons (I think there's enough space):
  • Add header
  • Add installed apps (with the possibility to select several applications)
  • Add user-defined command

One option to cure the lack of feedback would be to have the Select from installed applications just populate the other fields. I do like the three-button way, I think, though; a little more efficient, unless you edit all the Names anyway (I do, as I like short titles.), then it's about the same.

If I run x11vnc in "view only" mode ( Mirror screen for training, capturing, ... ) as soon as I activate Personal menu the vnc server stops updating the screen... forever. I have to disconnect and reconnect for it to come back.

This does not happen with the bookmarks or stock application menu.

Brontide: That is not something I would have expected, nor do I no what to do about it.

Does anyone else have this problem? Has any other application caused something like this for someone?

Personal menu is a surefire way to get it to go crazy, but it appears as though other items have the same effect. I'm going to investigate further and see if I can pin it down.

i wonder, would it be possible to split the menu into pages, and have a left and right arrow in the bottom corners?

tso: Currently if there are too many items to display on the screen there are up and down scroll arrows to show the rest. So if you have it set up for two columns, it will show what it can, then allow you to scroll to the rest.

Is this different from what you were talking about?
