Hi, Alacarte might work... It didn't work in precise, but it may be working again. You can edit categories there.
You could make a custom menu in ~/.config/menus/custom.menu You could use the debian-menu which has lots of categories. Navigate in pcmanfm (or terminal) to: /etc/xdg/menus lxde-applications.menu is your current menu. debian-menu.menu is the menu more similar to what you are talking about. *cp /etc/xdg/menus/debian.menu ~/.config/menus/lxde-applications.menu* AFAIK this should work to replace the menu structure with one you like If you don't like it simply delete OR edit ~/.config/menus/lxde-applications.menu On 05/31/2015 03:20 PM, Ian Bruntlett wrote: > Hi, > > I use both Ubuntu and lubuntu.
