After upgrading to OS 2008 and installing a bunch of apps, I'm finding that I don't like the layout of the Applications menu:
* Just like in the "Reduce menu size?" thread, I want to shrink the text and icon size or otherwise make things work better for a stylus-based user.
* I want to add/rename top-level items, such as to have a Games entry separate from Extras.
* I want to reorganize what is under which heading. I accepted the default on some items, but now I want to promoted to the top group or simply in another area.
The Panels customizing app is nice, but I really miss the ability to add a new category on the fly when installing applications. I remember many people thought we were stuck with the default structure because of that.
I too long for the ability to change the default icon/font size, being stylus oriented myself.
I've found that the drag and drop moving of app shortcuts between sections on the menu is a very hit and miss affair. The drag and drop sometime drops first time - sometimes takes a dozen tries.
I've rebooted and calibrated the screen but it makes no difference.
the key to success for me is to place app (release stylus) on text-label of destination folder, not only in destination folder, even if it is highlighted.
