(3) Option '-m', Menu
---------------------
+---------------------
+
+Dzen provides two menu modes, vertical and horizontal menus. You can
+access these modes by adding 'v'(ertical) or 'h'(horizontal) to the
+'-m' option. If nothing is specified dzen defaults to vertical menus.
+
+Vertical menu, both invocations beeing equivalent:
+ dzen2 -p -l 4 -m < file
+ dzen2 -p -l 4 -m v < file
+
+Horizontal menu:
+ dzen2 -p -l 4 -m h < file
+
-If menu mode is activated the line under the pointer will be
-highlighted.
All actions beginning with "menu" work on the selected menu entry.
Note: Menu mode only makes sense if '-l <n>' is specified!
+ Horizontal menus have no title window, so all actions
+ affecting the title window will be silently discarded
+ in this mode.
