The GNOME Desktop implements menus according to the XDG menu specification. By supporting this specification, GNOME allows you to:

  • Customize the menu hierarchy easily. You can edit a small number of files to customize the menu hierarchy. You do not need to modify your applications or move files.
  • Install applications easily. You do not need to provide information about the menu hierarchy to applications when you install the applications.
  • Configure menus so that users cannot modify the menus.

Menus in the GNOME Desktop use the following components:

  • Menu definition files
  • Desktop entry files
  • Directory entry files
