Genmenu can generate menus for Blackbox, Fluxbox, Openbox, Window Maker, and Enlightenment based on the program binaries found installed on a system. The list of programs to search for are contained within the script. Users can, to a limited degree, customize their menus via a set of interactive questions.

Recent commentsGenmenu is excellent!
genmenu should be a default install with any distribution that uses any of the supported window managers. The menus are nearly useless otherwise!
The only place I could wish for improvement is an option to save the answers as the text file for automated (cron-able or on logout) menu generation.
Thanks for increasing the usabilility of my favorite window manager so much!

I tested genmenu on my WindowMaker and the results are really good.
