Donemax Quick Menu

Ever since the majority of mainstream operating systems transitioned from the command-line style layout to the complex graphical interfaces that most users are accustomed to nowadays, the customization possibilities became limitless, culminating in the introduction of various programs catering to specific workflows, with one example being Donemax Quick Menu.

While macOS and certain Linux distributions rely on a command ribbon that sits atop the current window’s title bar and dynamically adapts its options according to the currently focused program, Microsoft’s flagship operating system combines the bottom app launcher and the functionality of the ribbon into the multipurpose taskbar that has become a staple of the interface navigation process.

In an attempt to avoid cluttering the shortcut portion of the taskbar, plenty of programs designed to run in the background populate the system tray area with discrete icons that let users access more options from their respective right-click context menu. Those whose workflows focus on instinctively reaching for the bottom right corner may find good use in the utility at hand.

Once installed, the app’s system tray icon can be pinned to remain always visible next to the Quick Settings toggle. Clicking it brings up a short list of shortcuts to frequently used system functions, ranging from the Control Panel’s program list for swift uninstallations to the system’s power plan selection screen to pick an option that favors energy saving when no outlets are available nearby.

As well as the app works in its current form, some changes could be made to extend its rather limited functionality by letting users change the folder shortcuts and point them to custom directories for a more personalized experience.

If you happen to bug test a variety of programs that cannot run in a sandbox or virtual environment, Donemax Quick Menu’s easily accessible shortcuts to the Task Manager, Control Panel and Recycle Bin may be the right way of summoning these features from the system tray.
