Configurable Menu for Cinnamon 6.6+

AllMenus

Description

At the end of 2025, Cinnamon 6.6 debuted a redesigned start menu. While many users preferred the new layout, quite a few did not. While I on the whole quite liked the new design, there were a few customization options I felt it sorely lacked, most notably the ability to make the system buttons vertical and remove sidebar text. This fork of the Cinnamon Menu applet adds the following customization options:

  • Stack the system buttons vertically in the sidebar
  • Disable names/descriptions for sidebar elements
  • Use symbolic icons for system buttons
  • Resize system buttons

Additional functionality will likely be added in the future.

YES! That is it. (A bit weird is that - switching OFF the favourite's names - do remove the profile name too [Maybe another switch for it would go]) Anyway, great thing to have this applet.

The extra customisation options you have added make the "new" menu complete. Many thanks.
