I don't quite like them.
- The icons are not suggestive enough. Why is Edit Class a box? Why is
Export as RTF using the MSWord icon? Why is the Watchlist using the same
icon as the adminster entries? These are just the top most annoying ones.
- The need to scroll bugs me. It was much more convenient to have the
menu in the same place. Sure, the alternative is to use the keyboard
shortcuts, but I never do, and it's not something easy to figure out
without reading the documentation.
- I'm not sure using the database name as the menu name is a good idea.
First, what do you do with a menu named GTLLMIPY? Second, how do you
document it so that people can easily understand what you're talking
about? Impatient people will just look at the pictures and see the XWIKI
menu, which they don't have.

Hi XWiki lovers :),
By now you've probably seen the new menu bars that we have introduced
in XE 2.1M1. If not, please try XE 2.1M1 or check the release notes at
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterprise21M1
Since the action menu has been heavily reworked we're interesting in
gathering feedback and thus ensure that you like the new menu as much
as we do.
If you have some problems with them please let us know ASAP (since the
2.1 final release is approaching fast - early December).
So whether you like them or not, please let us know what you think
about them.
Thanks a lot
Enjoy XWiki
