FruitMenu is a haxie that gives you the ability to customize the Apple Menu and contextual menus. Using a visual editor you can edit the contents of the menus to suit your needs and taste. FruitMenu will also display the contents of the FruitMenu Items folder inside of your Library folder, launch applications and shell scripts from the Apple Menu and contextual menus, to allow easy file navigation and launching. To make the haxie completely flexible and customizable, you can assign hotkeys to particular menu items. Last but not least, it is priced at only US $10!

New in version 3.7.3:

  • Restored the ability to run on G3s.
  • Includes APE 2.5.2 which also now runs on G3s.

New in version 3.7.2:

  • Includes a new installer to work around a bug in Mac OS X involving symlinks.
  • Included an updated updater to make the upgrading process more seamless.
  • Includes APE 2.5.1
  • Miscellaneous bug fixes.

New in version 3.7.1:

  • Addressed a problem that caused Recent Folders to not appear on 10.5.
  • Added French translation provided by Bernard Rey.

New in version 3.7:

  • Note: The price of FruitMenu has increased from $10 to $12.
  • This is a free upgrade.
  • Added support for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard v10.5 and later.
  • Dropped support for Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. FruitMenu now requires Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger v10.4.11 or later.
  • Removed all references to QuickTime. Now uses the superior ImageIO functionality to work with images. This has an unintended side effect of decreasing FruitMenu's load time at application launch.
  • Removed a lot of deprecated APIs and replaced them with modern, non-deprecated versions.
  • Removed some calls to the private CPS (CoreProcess Services) APIs when there was a public replacement (many CPS functions still lack a replacement in 10.5.x).
  • Changed the gather option to choose a folder name based on the current user's locale settings.
  • Added some spin locks and less trans fat.
  • Significantly reduced application launch time by only loading preference panes on demand.
  • Includes APE 2.5.
  • Includes SCR 1.5.
  • Plea: If you've bought FruitMenu around four years ago and have never paid for it again (we've not charged for an update of FruitMenu) we kindly ask if you wouldn't mind paying a voluntary upgrade fee. This fee is completely voluntary, is not required, and FruitMenu itself has no knowledge of whether you have volunteered or not. There are no perks to volunteer and we only ask that only registered users volunteer. To volunteer, please go to http://www.unsanity.com/store/add/fruitmenu_vuf.

New in version 3.6.4:

  • Includes Application Enhancer 2.0.3.
  • We strongly recommend upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4.9 as it contains some essential system software fixes.
  • Removed some debug logging.
  • Smaller fixes.
