Mintmenu

I think the description about covers it. I used the apt get upgrade though synaptic and according to synaptic the mint menu is installed. I just have no idea how to turn it on. I've tried reinstalling it.

i dont like the new menu, its to big. it takes up to much of my screen space.
vista has somewhat of a nice layout for its start menu. i was at costco the other day and noticed that vista's start menu is very functional. maybe mint should try something like what vista has done. it doesnt hurt to take good idea's from other sources like mac.

Hi Joshya,

Mouse over to the existing menu bar and right click on it. A menu will pop up and select remove from panel.

Right click on the panel you want the Mint Menu and and select add to panel.

A new window will pop up, scroll down to utilities and select Linux Mint Menu.

Unlike the above poster I do like the Mint Menu, it takes up less space on my panel. Try putting Mint Config on your panel along with your most used applications for easy convenient access and you may use the menu very little.

Have fun!

Hello joshya,
Did you finally get the mintMenu icon on your panel? I have a similar problem.
In my case, just as in yours, I can see that it has been installed but I can't load the icon.

PS. mumbo719 has the right procedure. My problem, though, is that I click on the Add button but nothing happens.
