Re: menu

BunsenLabs uses jgmenu by default.

What kind of menu are you interested in?

Re: menu

Right mouse click on the desktop. Or punch the Windows key.

Thank you.

Menu button on the taskbar then?

You will need to edit the tint2rc and add a menu launcher/button ( https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/blob/mas … .md#button ). The forum has a "show us your tint2" thread with examples.

Or you can use the tint2 configuration tool built in to BL.

Right click on the desktop to bring up jgmenu, Then navigate to the tint2 configuration:

That will bring up a dialog box with several tint2 layouts to choose from. Several have a button to launch jgmenu; the BL flame icon is the
button.

Another option would be to install xfce4-panel (along with some xfce4 dependencies) and use that as your panel.

Re: menu

BL uses jgmenu, those categories are listed under "Applications". Besides right-click or Windows key, you can also click the flame icon on the taskbar.
