New Main Menu Applet

How has a main menu applet which was pretty cool. I posted about an update the main applet had here. But now tehkain from the awn forums has created another main menu applet which works a little bit differently. Personally I find this approach better for me. You can read more about the applet in this post from the forum, but I got a little video of it below, which is so much cooler then screen shots.



If your looking to download it, you can grab it from here.

To install it just open up your awn-manager and go to the applets section, and if you didn't already know it you can drag applets into the right column of applets and it installs them, then just add it to your bar!

Main Menue Applet: Preferences and Administration

Before the applet just had the application menu, But now you can access Administration and preferences.

Here is a quick screen shot of the administration tab:



And a screen shot of the Preferences tab:


If you don't have the applet and would like it it is part of awn extras which you can be read about and find installation instructions on the new awn wiki being built. The Awn-extras page is here.
