Yesterday I released a new Whisker Menu, version 1.5.0, which
includes the most frequently requested feature: the ability to change
the background opacity of the menu. Of course, if you use xfwm4 it will
remove the drop shadow if you do that, but otherwise the feature works
nicely.
Another feature added in this release was the inclusion of a small
profile picture next to the username. You can set what program is
launched to edit your profile when you click it; by default it tries to
run the program mugshot.
I also made some changes to make it easier to use. If you add an item
to the desktop from the right-click menu it will be made executable by
default, so that you can launch it without prompting. Also, when you
have the menu hierarchy shown, you can now click on the folders to
expand them instead of having to click on the arrows next to the folder
names. And finally, you can adjust the amount of recent items shown in
the menu if you want more than 10. Read More
