The AppMenu is the menu which is opened using the gear-shaped icon on the far-right of an app's toolbar. It provides relevant menu items in place of a conventional "File, Edit, View..." menu bar.

Usage

You should first consider if your app needs this widget. While most apps have one, you may have a simple enough app that it's not necessary to have an AppMenu.

When adding items to your AppMenu, consider the following:

• Items should be relevant and useful. It's not acceptable to duplicate UI here.
• If the app includes a "preferences" window, it should be available from the AppMenu.
• There should be an item for the "About" dialog which contains links to the project's bug tracker, help, etc.
• If an AppMenu is displayed, a menu bar should not be, and vice-versa.
