Create new menu for LXPanel?

Post by That Random Guy »

Is it possible to create a new menu from scratch and import it into the LXPanel?

I notice there's a way to add stuff in one of the configuration/settings menus.

Would it be possible?

If it is, would it be bound to the limitations set by openbox?

Yes. See http://lxlinux.com/openbox.html for details regarding the Openbox Root Menu. For the LXDE panel menu and many other panel menus, see http://lxlinux.com/indexold.html#9.

Just to clarify however, there's absolutely no way to alter the styling of the menu even when making the menu from scratch?

The only way would be to fork it somehow?
