This package provides a standalone Appmenu registrar that allows other applications to access any active window's application menu tree.

Such a registrar is extremely useful for, e.g.

* implementing global menus (application menus appear in the top panel bar of the desktop environment) * adding an application menu browser or search engine to HUDs

The registrar uses the protocol originally published with the Unity7 desktop environment. It supports all features found in that implementation.

The menu hiding functionality in appmenu-gtk-module depends on the registrar's presence.

This package is a subproject of the vala-panel-appmenu project.
