GnoMenu - An Incredible Menu Application For Ubuntu Gnome

And I have to say, it almost does. GnoMenu comes with a number of themes and a easy to use configuration menu. Looks like it deserves a try isn't it? Let's give it a shot.

• Latest GnoMenu 2.8 brings in a lot of improvements especially with regard to speed and usability.

• After using GnoMenu for a day, it felt really solid and fun to use. Definitely worth a try, I would say.
