'''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. It also features a "Quicklaunch" box which gives you immediate access to your friends' profiles (just start typing a friend's name and it will autocomplete – press enter and go to that friend's profile) and Facebook searches (type a phrase and press enter). 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
The latest version is {{/version}}. It is a [[w:Universal Binary|Universal Binary]] and requires Mac OS X 10.4 or better.
*[{{/latestversion}} FMenu] for users who ''already have Growl installed on their system'' (.zip file)
*[{{/latestversion/Growl}} FMenu for all other users] – if  – if you do not have Growl installed, FMenu will prompt you to install it automatically with no additional downloads required (.zip file)
FMenu is released under the [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html GNU General Public License]. Source code can be found inside the application package by going to <tt>FMenu.app/Contents/Resources/Source</tt> or checked out using [[w:Subversion (software)|SVN]] [http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=188286 from SourceForge].
==Installation==
Simply download the appropriate file above, then double-click it. FMenu.app will appear in the same folder as the .zip file you just downloaded. Move FMenu.app to your Applications and double-click it to open. You might also want to add it to your startup items by going to System Preferences→AccountsPreferences→Accounts, selecting your account on the left, then clicking on the '''Login items''' tab. Click the '''+''' button and choose FMenu from the window that appears.
As of version 2.5, you can have your Facebook credentials saved by checking the according checkbox on the login page. Note that FMenu does not store your actual password and that this procedure does '''not''' compromise the security of your Facebook account in any way.
