Is there a way to have mintMenu in Avant Window Navigator?

[vadali]

Hi,

I would like to use AWM instead of the regular bar.

After getting used to mintMenu, I cant use any of the existing main menus in AWM (AWM, cairo, to sided..)!

Is there a way to make an AWM applet for the mintMenu???

That would be totally awesome!

thanks,
vadali

I think I saw the same question a while ago and I think the answer is no - at least it would take some skilled programming

I know this is an old post, but yes you can and I have done so. No real skill required. In AWN dock preferences, go to Task Manager, click on Add and in the command dialog just browse to /usr/bin/mintmenu and select. Fill in the description and name and click on the icon to choose a different icon if you want. In advanced, choose Use Startup Notification and voilla you now have an AWN applet for mintmenu.

That's cool, sidneyk! Too bad I don't use AWN anymore, but I was the one who originally asked the question a while ago so that's great you found a way.

I have been trying to figure out the same thing for docky if anyone knows.

That PPA adds Mint Menu as an applet for AWN, works well but it takes a bit to load when AWN is launched. I'm not sure about Docky, though...

Mintmenu also takes a while to load when running Gnome, maybe because it's written in Python.
