| |
| * Menu item titles should be listed in a standard order
| |
| * Provide accelerator keys for every menu title in the menubar
| |
| * Do not disable menu titles even if no items under that menu are available
| |
| * Menu titles on a menubar appear as a single word with the first letter capitalized
| |
| * Do not use compound words (e.g. ToolOptions), and hyphens (e.g. Tool-Options) in label names; they make words harder to read and recognize
| |

| This is the order of menu items in a standard menu bar. If an application does not have options under one of the standard menu items, do not include it in the menu. At the minimum, all windows should have a File (or File equivalent, such as in the case if Konqueror and Amarok) and Help menu.
