New Xfce Panel Applets: Focus and Launch Menus

I’m pleased to announce the release of two new Xfce Panel applets, Focus Menu and Launch Menu, which reproduce functionality that existed on vintage Apple computers, from System 7 up to Mac OS 9.

Focus Menu works similarly to the application switcher menu, displaying a list of programs, as well as commands that allow their windows to be hidden or shown. Launch Menu works similarly to the Apple menu, showing a list of files, folders and programs that the user manually placed into the special Launch Menu Items folders.

Read about each release, and also my attempts to anticipate all the common questions, on their respective GitHub pages:
