Hi Israel,

OK, you know, when it is ready for other people to test, and to get it
from a ppa is a good alternative :-)

I think it will work with a themes directory in the .jwm directory.

A clean menu is a good thing. But you should also consider, what happens
when people install software packages (that automatically add entries
into the menu).

Best regards
