Getting to know Menu.Applet
To help you get started, this section provides an initial overview of the Menu.Applet
interface. First, let’s look at a typical Menu.Applet workspace:
The Menu.Applet workspace contains three main panels: Item Tree View Panel,
Properties Panel, and Compose/Preview Panel.
•
Item Tree View Panel Displays the layout of the menu items in a flowchart diagram
showing the various menu items and submenus. Add menu and submenu items (child
and/or sibling items) to your menu in this panel.
•
Properties Panel Configure and customize the applet and menu items in this panel.
Preferences for dimension, color, background and behavior of each item can be set
using this panel.
•
Compose/Preview Panel Display the layout of your menu in two modes: Compose
(layout only) or Preview (shows a running version). Correct errors, fine-tune
settings, and preview menus through this panel.
