In the preferences window activate or deactivate any of the provided menus:

User-Defined: If you want to build your own menu (like the ‘real’ old Apple Menu), activate the User-Defined menu and add files, folders, or aliases to ‘~/Library/Application Support/XMenu/Custom’ (this folder will be created after starting XMenu for the first time). You could, e.g., copy the contents of your Favorites folder or create aliases of your favorite applications and documents here to have them show up in the menu.

Snippets: Plain and rich text documents, text clippings, Internet locations, and other files added to the folder for the Snippets menu are not opened using the Finder when you select them but their content is inserted into the current application if no modifier key is pressed.

All menus and sub-menus update themselves automatically (unlimited number of hierarchies) just like the good old Apple Menu so it’s not necessary to refresh them manually or after a certain time interval. In addition, XMenu optionally displays small or large icons (using unique or generic icons), sorts menus by kind (folders before or after files) and follows aliases and symbolic links.
