: **Compiz Boxmenu**
There are two ways to have an xdg menu in compiz-boxmenu. The first one,
auto-updates the menu, every time the menu is called. The second one,
updates the menu only when the user wants to.
Also, keep in mind that Compiz Boxmenu supports multiple formats. Thus
**Dynamic Menus**
Edit your //~/.config/compiz/boxmenu/menu.xml// file with your favorite text
editor and add a block of code like this inside the root //<menu>// element:
```
<item type="launcher">
<command mode2="pipe">xdgmenumaker -nif compizboxmenu</command>
<icon>applications</icon>
<name>Applications</name>
</item>
```
Alternatively, you can also run //compiz-boxmenu-editor// and click the
dropdown for new menu files or menu items. Select launcher to create a
new launcher. Set the name of the launcher to whatever you want. This will
be the display name for the pipe menu. Then enter in:
``xdgmenumaker -if compizboxmenu``
for the command entry. Click the combobox
next to the command text box and switch that to "Pipe".
**Static Menus**
Edit your //~/.config/compiz/boxmenu/menu.xml// file with your favorite text
editor and paste the output of:
``xdgmenumaker -if compizboxmenu``
into //~/.config/compiz/boxmenu/menu.xml//.
Alternatively, you can also run //compiz-boxmenu-editor// and click the
button that says //Generate menu entries from a pipemenu script//. In the dialog
box that pops up, type in:
``xdgmenumaker -if compizboxmenu``
to append the statically generated menu to any menu file you want.
