Menus
Because Mac OS 8 control panels are applications (file type'appc'), they generate their own menus. Control panels must follow the guidelines established in "Menu Guidelines" (page 87) as well as those in this section.
- IMPORTANT
- Because older control panels did not generate their own menus, some users are likely to assume that Mac OS 8 control panels also do not. Custom menus and menu items therefore should be used sparingly, and only minor or infrequently used features should be accessed exclusively through menu items.
