and colorizing menu commands is a way to remove menu clutter and emphasize
commands you frequently use. Note that hiding menu commands simply
removes the menu from view; it doesn’t disable any features. At
any time, you can view hidden commands by selecting the Show All
Menu Items command at the bottom of a menu. You can include customized
menus in workspaces you save.</p>
<p>You can customize the main menu,
context menus, and panel menus. Context menus appear when you right-click
(Windows) or Control-click (Mac&#160;OS) an area. Panel menus
appear when you click the icon in the upper right of a panel. </p>
