Does anyone know how to customize the "main menu"

[kdarkentity]

What i am trying to do is this, i would like to change the default ubuntu logo for the main menu to a vista logo and also i was wondering if there was a way i could add a live search bar into the popupmenu as well.

its not possible with the default gnome menu. If you use KDE, there are a couple of menu replacements with this functionality. Also, for gnome there are a couple of things that I believe do this sort of thing. Maybe the Suse Sled menu. Its available for ubuntu i think from the repos. The app "Gimmie" might also so something similar. As for changingin the icon, if you're not using the menu bar and just the plain menu button, you can change it by going into "gconf-editor" Apps>Panel>Objects>object_x and then check the box that says "use custom icon" and fill in the path to the custom icon in the custom icon section. hope this helped.!

The icon thing is easy. You just go into your themes folder, look for human, and go to the 22x22 icons. Replace the start-here.png with the icon that you want to be the new logo. Then just run the command killall gnome-panel and it should work.

only thing is i cant seem to remember how to copy an image and change directory and paste, i would need to do this so i could paste the custom logo in the themes directory
