Configuring Desktop menus

Pull-down menus

The Desktop resource file defines three special menu names: DesktopMenuBar, DirMenuBar, and TreeMenuBar. Menu rules with these names define the menu bars for desktop windows, directory windows and treeview windows, respectively.

Each menu_item clause defines the name of one of the pull-down menus on the menu bar, and should contain a pull_off_menu clause to define the commands on that pull-down menu.

By default, the Desktop provides menu bars, in desktop windows, directory windows and treeview windows, and these menu bars provide pull-down menus for all of the most frequently-used commands that users need to perform within the Desktop.

The commands on these menus, and the actions they perform, are defined by the rules for your user type. You do not need to change this file to configure your own menus.
