Tony, thank you(!) for sharing and being a really overall generous contributor to our little community!
Some criticism to hopefully make it more useful: first impression from just going to the site, before testing it is tt looks way to opinionated. Is it possible to keep the things that do *not *need to be changed unchanged? For example the colours. I don't want to change my colours just to have menus. And the buttons deviate very much from standard TW style. Such aspects should perhaps be optional but IMO not default, and if it is default, then there should be a prominent "theme switcher" or similar. It confuses the user making them wonder what your plugin does. Also the sidebar menu. That's a lot of buttons. Are they all for your plugin? I would also like a prominent paragraph stating what the pluging actually does and why I should use it. I kind of see fragements of this. IMO this should be the first thing seen in a plugin(-display) unless it is totally obvious what it does. Again, I haven't actually yet tested your plugin because I don't want to spend time on confusions like this. (Of course, anyone actually seeking a menu-making plugin is probably more forgiving). OK, again, this is intended to be constructive and help you popularize your plugin.
