Free options menu software for linux

options is a small and simple library for parsing commandline options. It is not intended to rival popt or the like, so if you need really fancy option parsing `options is not for you.
Installation:
./configure
make install
Main features:
- long and short options
- options that take no argument are `counters by default; these start from zero and are incremented each time theyre specified
- default values for all types of options
- interpret option values as integer or string, or both
- print table of options and help messages (with default values)

More Tools Menu 1.2.1 provides you with an excellent and powerful extension which can move new items to "More Tools" menu. Unclutter the "Tools" menu by moving new items to a "More Tools" menu.

Enhancements: Rewrite tools moving logic again, this time taking compatibility with toolbar customization into account. (#290)

Tasty Menu project is a KMenu replacement aiming to provide the maximum usability, or at least to be a testbed for usability concepts and ideas for a future kmenu replacement.
The left part of the menu is very similar to the Novell idea (http://www.novell.com/products/desktop/preview.html): you have a search box that is always selected when the menu is opened (the search result are displayed in the leftmost listview), followed by a combobox that decides what the following listview: favourite applications (default), most used applications, recently used applications and recent documents.
The right part contains the whole kmenu and takes the aspect from KBFX (http://www.kbfx.org), the middle column contains the top level categorization (plus in the current kmenu arrangment there are also the control center, home folder and find files, but i think there should be present only categories). in the left-most listview there is the content of the category currently selected in the middle column. I think in this way even if it has the same number of items it _appears_ less huge than with a popup menu/submenu structure.
every items have two row, for the name and for the description, in order to make a more it more informative. On each selected item appears an action icon on the right, at the moment they are "add bookmark" on application icons and "remove bookmark" on favourite apps list.
The bottom buttons are the usual switch user, lock session and logout. In a first time I didnt want to put them, I tought that these function should be delegate to another applet like http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=26150 , but it seems that the multiple menus concept its a thing that doesnt work very well in practice, it needs more real-world testing.
The left-most btton contains the user name and icon, and clicking on it it opens the kcm used to edit the users profile. I know it seems silly, but Its only an experiment, probably it will be merged with the switch user button.
Enhancements:
- "Add to desktop" option in menuitems
- Drag and drop from menu to desktop
- Option to set different icons sizes in the three columns
- the button text label should always be of a visible color
- most used/recently used applications list updates in realtime
- clear most used/recently used applications list
- (warning1: deleting one list deletes also the other)
- (warning2: if you use opensuse you must have kickoff reverted to classic kmenu in order to use the recently used/most used lists)
- updated russian and german translations

DOM Menu allows developers to add dynamic, hierarchical popup menus on their web pages. The direction of the menu can either be horizontal or vertical and the menu can open (or popout) in either direction. It has both screen edge detection and < select > element detection (for browsers that cannot hide these form elements).
The styles for the menu items are contr olled almost entirely through CSS and the menus are created/hidden using the DOM (Document Object M odel).
Menu configuration is done using a custom Hash() class and is very portable from a PHP type array structure. The menus attempt to follow the look and feel of well known GUI toolkit menus.
Version restrictions:
- cannot use opposite direction to open
- opera 7 having difficulty with table (need to work around)
Enhancements:
- added support for IE 5.0
- fixed problem when submenu was deactivated and parent would highlight
- added a converter from phplayersmenu

Cabextract menu is just a little service menu that I put together for extracting MS .cab files.

It creates a directory with the same base name in the same directory as the .cab file and extracts to it. To use it, you have to have cabextract installed (and can be found here http://www.kyz.uklinux.net/cabextract.php.

Browser Bookmarks Menu is a small Gnome applet to allow easy access to your browsers bookmarks, even when your browser is not open.

This applet is like the Bookmarks menu of your preferred browser (e.g. Epiphany, Firefox), but lives in the panel, like the Gnome Menu Bar.

This means that it is always accessible (and Fitts Law compliant), even if you have other windows or applications open (and maximized). You do not have to first launch your browser and then find its bookmarks menu.

SSHMenu is a GNOME panel applet* that makes all your regular SSH connections a single mouse click away. Heres a screenshot to give you the basic idea.

Each menu option will open an SSH session in a new terminal window. You can arrange groups of hosts with separator bars or sub-menus. You can even open all the connections on a submenu (in separate windows or tabs) with one click.

Heres a killer feature: imagine if every time you connected to a production server the terminal window had a red background. Every connection you make using using SSHMenu will use the terminal profile youve selected, to set the colour scheme, terminal font and other settings.

The Host Connection Details dialog allows you to specify:

the name used to display the host on the menu
connection parameters
window size and location (optional)
GNOME terminal profile (for colours and font sizes etc)

In the example illustrated above, the Server Log host entry will connect to the server snoopy and run tail to watch the Apache log file on that server. The output will be displayed in a 120 character by 10 line window in the bottom right corner of the screen.

You can also add ssh options before the hostname. A common example would be -AX hostname to enable forwarding of SSH agent and X11 protocols respectively. You can add other options for port forwarding or other host-specific connection parameters.

SSHMenu also includes a configuration wizard that will be invoked the first time you add the applet to your panel. The wizard will look in your .ssh/known_hosts file and build a menu with any hosts it finds. Of course, no hosts will be found if you have the HashKnownHosts option enabled in your ssh_config (this is the default on recent versions of Ubuntu at least).

The Preferences dialog allows you to reorder host items; add separators; and organise items into sub-menus.
