Hi David, Thank you very much for the feedback!
- Some of the screenshots are not default setting screenshots and I do plan to replace them to reflect what the user will actually see with current image. - As for the 'application-specific wiki pages', here is what I think, see whether you agree. We use the Applications wiki page as a base, people/developers can add other application wiki pages, the link those pages from Applications page. In this way, on one hand, we have a central place for people to look for the information and not get lost. On the other they will get plenty information by going to the related links. - Yes, absolutely! We can add the apps you mentioned to gmenu2x. The screenshots look really great! I haven't gotten a chance to try out those apps yet. I will get to them soon. I think as long as the apps meet some basic criteria, such as usability, stability, and having on screen help tips, we can put them to gmenu2x. What do you think? Thanks for all of your great work! Happy hacking!
