GnoMenu - a menu with themes support which we just covered a few days ago - version 2.8 was released. The new version doesn't come with many new features but it comes with one big improvement: a new default program list widget called iconview which makes the GnoMenu a lot faster than before.
Other changes in GnoMenu 2.8 are: distro logo now has 3 diferent states, pressed, hover and normal, more translations and the usual bug fixes.
Install GnoMenu 2.8 in Ubuntu from the official PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnomenu-team/ppa && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnomenu
