Custom Menus 1.1 is a control panel that lets you:

• Tear-Off menus and move them anywhere for faster access to often-used items.
• Build your own menus from items in any menu.
• Put all your favorite items in a single menu. Then rename any item!
• Choose your own Font, Size and colors for the menus and the menu bar
• Pop-Up the Menu Bar under the mouse: no more reaching for the top of the screen!

 

"Great for PowerBook users who have to deal with the 800x600 display, where menus are usually tiny." says Tim Nelson of Nelson Multimedia. Custom Menus lets you set any font or size for the menus!

" Am DELIGHTED with Custom Menus... probably the neatest utility I've ever invested in! I use it with Finale 3.7 (music program), which has zillions of nested menus, and your Utility is superb!" says Peter Lurie on CompuServe.

This MacOS control panel works on all Mac OS computers running System 7.x on a 68020 or later.
