In the firt place it is slower to do things with it than with the comon menus in gnome. Not only to find things but to find out things, understand, learn,.... It is closed. It has a lot of wasted empty space and that's why it is so BIGGG. If you want to find what's the real name of an application (which is usual ecause they never use the real name) in the menus, you need to drag the icon to the desktop, right-click on the new icon, go to properties, close and then move the new icon to the tray... UUHH!! Why are the games at the top of the list if they are what I use less??...UHHH? Why are there so many instances of the same application. That akes it dificult to find them... and why are they so stupidly classified?? UHH!! Why are there recent applications, recent documents but no recent places?? Whay can't I choose how many recent applications, places and documents I want to have? Why isn't there a button to edit it, erase the recent items, and lock it?? THAT'S THE FIRST LESSON YOU LEARN when ou learn how to build an application! Add, modify and Delete, Add, modify and Delete, Add, modify and Delete; Add, modify and Delete,...... And last, but not least, the lists of recent items and the lists of favurite items should be SCROLLABLE!!! Bye bye! The Slab Menu has many many many defects, my dear mouse-clicker,...

In the firt place it is slower to do things with it than with the comon menus in gnome. Not only to find things but to find out things, understand, learn,…. It is closed.
It has a lot of wasted empty space and that’s why it is so BIGGG.
If you want to find what’s the real name of an application (which is usual ecause they never use the real name) in the menus, you need to drag the icon to the desktop, right-click on the new icon, go to properties, close and then move the new icon to the tray… UUHH!!

This post was published nearly three years ago, so I don't recall. My favorite fonts are ttf-droid and ttf-liberation. You might try those to match the look.

Specifically, making it use only the icon on the panel, without the label. It's also interesting that users on the Xubuntu wiki are floating requests to do the opposite - to move from one menu to three. I like it, but how would one go about editing its appearance?

I tend to agree that the XP one is a better design (though I hate XP) but I find it annoying with XP that apps are added automatically when you use them once (and may never use them again).
