jgmenu is a stand-alone, simple and contemporary-looking menu application for Linux and BSD.

It can display the following types of menu (or any combination of):

bespoke menu using a jgmenu flavoured CSV format

It is highly customizable (e.g. colours, alignment, margins, padding, transparency).
-
It can synchronise with xsettings, GTK and tint2 settings.
-
It does not depend on any toolkits such as GTK and Qt, but uses cairo and pango to render the menu directly onto an X11 window.
