This Plugin is not working in Fedora 20 Gnome 3.10.3.
Any ETA on when you would be able to update the plugin to latest Gnome-Shell version??

Canaima is the national GNU/Linux Distribution promoted by the venezuelan goverment, and is used in public administration institutions and in educational laptops distributed totaly free in public schools.
Your axe menu plugin was selected to facilitate the users migration from Gnome2 to Gnome3 enviroments.

Is there a way to add to the "Places" list?

I absolutely LOVE Axe Menu. But I also love the "global menu" feature found in Ubuntu's Unity desktop environment. (The "global menu" saves considerable space on a crowed desktop by placing the menu of only the focused window within the top panel, rather than placing separate menus at the top of each application’s window.) And so, ideally, I'd like to run something like Axe Menu in Unity rather than in Gnome.
As you of course know, Gnome shell extensions aren't natively compatible with Unity. Unity does, however, allow for adding "application indicators" (applets) to the Unity title bar. As an example, please see the "ClassicMenu Indicator" found here:
http://www.florian-diesch.de/software/classicmenu-indicator/
Any chance you could be convinced to port Axe Menu to run as an "application indicator" in Unity?
In my estimation, there is a huge unmet demand for something like Axe Menu among Unity users. So if you were to port your Axe Menu as an application indicator, I wager that you would be a hero to many Unity users!

I am not able to uninstall it. Uninstalling through the extensions website gives an error. I am new to GNOME 3, can you help me? Thanks.

Changing the menu icon drove me nuts. I was expecting the name in the config to directly relate to the icon name, but it looks for that name + \"-symbolic\".extension instead of just name.extension

Дмитрий, здравствуйте! Использовал данное расширение оболочки в предыдущих версиях Gnome Shell (сейчас, волею обновлений системы, стоит версия 3.6.2). На данном этапе расширение успешно не работает вообще. Мягко говоря - обидно, т.к. без него оболочкой пользоваться не очень удобно (отказываться нет в пользу чего, ибо в целом - комфортно, за исключением доступа к меню приложений). Слёзно умоляю Вас, обратите внимание на мольбы страждущих и обновите расширение, т.к. достойной замены ему просто нет. Заранее благодарю за хоть какой-нибудь комментарий.

I see "Error" in Gnome 3.6, but no error trace using Alt+F2 and then lg > Extensions.
Johnny 03/Nov/2012 16:51
There will be an update of this extension for gnome 3.6?

Hi, when will Gnome 3.6 version of your menu?
Eric 17/Sep/2012 19:30
Hey!!
First of all, excellent work; I've been looking for something like this since I updated my Ubuntu to Shell.
And second, I'd like to know if I could help you translating the script to my language, Catalan (a language spoken by 10 million people, and quite active in the Ubuntu ecosystem). If you're interested, please, contact me by sending a mail to ericmates@gmail.com
And again, amazing job!

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to delete/add the items in the list of the right pane under all applications (this because of the fact that axemenu lists all the installed programs with wine).
Thank you very much.

@finid: At the moment, the menu background can be changed only by editing the shell theme.
.popup-menu-boxpointer {-arrow-background-color: rgba(255,0,0,0.5);
}

@pablo: Here is an example of how you can change the icon from the Faenza icons set. http://imgur.com/dUyVS">
