'''FMenu''' is a program for [[w:Mac OS X|Mac OS X]] and [[w:Facebook|Facebook]] that sits in the menu bar (near the clock) and provides notifications about various events. In addition, it provides a menu to easily access common Facebook pages and keeps a count of your messages, pokes, events, friend requests, wall posts, and photo comments. Notifications are issued using [[w:Growl|Growl]] and can be customized to the user's liking (including turning on/off and customizing display style). They are:
*A friend updated his profile
*A friend changed his status
*You have new friend requests
*You have new photo comments
FMenu checks for updates by default every 7 5 seconds (or at whatever interval you set), but checks for each kind of notification (friend details & , friend requests, wall, photo comments, messages, pokes, events) separately. Consequently each particular type of notification is refreshed once every 35 seconds.
'''Please note:''' this application will work with most of your friends. However, if you are not getting notifications for some friends, it probably means that they have opted out of releasing their info to applications using the Facebook API. Tell your friends to go to http://www.facebook.com/privacy.php?view=everyone and make sure that the box labeled ''My information may be used according to the restricted Terms of Service'' is '''checked'''. Otherwise, FMenu has absolutely no way of retrieving that user's profile.
*"Growl preferences..." button now correctly detects presence of Growl prefpane
*Keyboard shortcuts added to common destinations (however, currently only work if some element (i.e. Quicklaunch) of the program is active)
*The Photos, Shares, Groups, and Notes menu items now have submenus (which can be turned off)
*Full update no longer performed upon Pref window close (as it's no longer necessary)
