Have you deleted your panel and you regret it and want it back.

but you can not figure out how to do it - make a new panel and add the following :

applicationsmenu

places

showdesktop

tasklist

separator

indicator

systray

datetime

now you think that's not the mint menu and your right you have to tweak it.

right click on it and go to properties

first lets rename it to Menu

second we have to find the right icon click on the icon and go to ./usr/share/xfcemint and open visualisation-logo.png

okay now it look as it shall but if you click on it you will notes thats not look like you remember it thats because mint have make they own applications menu.

lets pick the menu-file

go to ./usr/share/xfcemint and open xfce-applications.menu

thats it now it look like the standard menu

hopes pepole can understand it - sorry english is not my main language
