Description: This is a circular-application-menu prototype mirroring the same structure as the exisiting application menu for the GNOME desktop. This was originally just a paper prototype which I did back in March 2007, and decided to code over Christmas 2007.
Currently it's just a command line application but will probably be wrapped up into its own panel applet and completed at some point.
Apart from requiring a code refactor there are no automake niceties so just 'make' and go ! It's worth mentioning that you will require a composited environment (i.e compiz, etc.).
great idea, I was thinking of a similar idea a year or two back
circular menus are a much more productive way to get things done.
Though they arent very pretty too look at, I suggest you make it a little less opaque, then when you hover over it, it becomes fully opaque again.
You make me regret not coding something like this. :)

one issue: if the menu goes deeper than 3 levels, the circles overlap (The Menu for Wine Applications and the Debian Menu go that deep)

Looks very cool ;) but where I can download it? on google code page I get message: This project currently has no downloads. cheers Stanko
On the page that opens is the svn download command (in the blue box)
Silly me :) I just downloaded it ;) I will take a look later and if I make nay modifications, I'll let you now ;) tnx again cheers, Stanko
Very cool stuff. It is something completely new to me, maybe an original idea in the community. That counts for so much.
