Quick Menu Builder

Quick Menu Builder is a lightweight cross-platform utility designed to help you create executable menus for application launchers, AutoPlay CDs and DVDs, as well as other projects.

It boasts a clean and intuitive GUI that gives you the possibility to design menus in six steps.

You don’t need programming skills for working with this application, and even rookies can set up the entire process with minimum effort. More advanced users can take advantage of the multitude of dedicated parameters and customize them according to their needs.

You can upload a “main” picture for the menu, a “hover” image where you can place the buttons, as well as “click” and “filter” photos. The tool offers support for the following file formats: BMP, DIB, JPEG, GIF, WMF and EMF.

Plus, you can preview each image added to the list in a dedicated pane and change the compression rate for the JPEG and BMP files.

Quick Menu Builder enables user to insert buttons which can be moved to any area of the working environment with the use of the mouse or by manually entering the coordinates. What’s more, you can add a name for each button, change its size, or delete it.

Other important features worth mentioning give you the possibility to assign actions for each button, such as open a folder in order to explore it, launch an executable item by specifying the file path, open documents with the default programs or media files with preset parameters (e.g. open the videos in full screen mode), send emails, access links, and close the menu.

The program offers support for audio files (MP3, WAV), and allows you to embed hint text messages, customize the text in terms of font style, size, color and number, create sub-menus, add audio files to be played at startup or for the “hover” and “click” events, as well as background music.

It lets you add basic or animated cursors, customize the hint section in terms of size, font style, background color and appearance time, enable the transparency fade effects and pick the fade speed, as well as add a picture or video to be displayed as a splash screen. You may give details about the author name, email, homepage and notes.

The generated menus can be exported as standalone applications and saved to the computer.

Quick Menu Builder offers an excellent software solution for designing executable menus. It comes packed with fully-customizable options and a clean layout for helping you carry out the process.
