Much like OS 9's Apple Menu Items folder, any file or folder (or alias) you place in this folder will appear in the Apple Menu folders will list their contents in hierarchical submenus. When it's running (you can add it to your Login Items preferences so that it always launches at login), it replaces the OS X Apple Menu with one that reflects the contents of ~/Library/Preferences/Classic Menu Items. Whereas FruitMenu works more like some of the other menu utilities I've discussed in the book, Classic Menu works more like the classic OS 9 Apple Menu. I've already talked about FruitMenu a couple times in the book, and discussed it extensively in the Online Bonus Chapter. However, you can bring back Apple Menu customization using the shareware FruitMenu ( ) or Classic Menu ( ). ![]() You can access the classic Apple Menu if the Classic Environment is running and you switch to a Classic application, but it's not quite the same. As I showed you in Chapter 8, OS X's Apple Menu has some useful features, but it's not customizable like OS 9's.
