I'm going out of my mind for the last two days searching through countless posts all referencing the same helpless information, about editing the panel menu & creating a custom menu for the panel in gnome
So far I have :
A custom top level menu
The Administration & Preferences sub menus in this menu
these subs' I created by searching for and then editing the config files for those menus(.menu,.desktop,.directory)
a pretty good idea how to write a custom menu file
!Now! my top-level menu layout is described by a settings.menu file in ~/.config/menus.
The breakdown of this .menu file is that it references .desktop files For launching the apps; and .directory files for describing the layout of sub menus.
My menu is nearly the way i want it, except I cant find the "Recent documents and Bookmarks"
Which Live in the Places section of the,
:Applications:Places:System: panel Menu bar,
What i want to know is where i can find the "Recent documents and Bookmarks" config files?, and how to apply these entries, in my menu/?
If anyone is looking for some help setting up a menu, ill be glad to share some experience, I already have libslab0 and it is ok, The one I'm working on takes up less space.
Cheers,
I cant wait to get this up and running my panel is a mess at the moment with all the extra launchers ive got there while I'm trying to sort this out..
