Ok,
Finally able to duplicate the problem, and it's a weird one.
I'm using a fresh full install of Puppeee 4.4 beta 2.
Change your theme to Brushed.
Open Chrome and Geany and test the menus work normally.
Open pmenu and select a program from either list so the icon shows.
While pmenu is still open test the menus on Chrome and Greany. (Should function normally)
Close pmenu and check the menus again. (No highlighting for the menu system)
Close and reopen Chrome and Greany and check the menus again. (Should function normally)
You can also fix the problem by re-applying the theme.
Doesn't seem to effect Firefox, still checking other programs.
May take some research to figure this one out....

Sorry,newbie question. After I've downloaded the pmenu-3.0.0.pet which is actually a pupzip tar.gz file ,and the required gtk...pet, what do I do? Pls bear with me,usually I just click the pet and it would auto install.
I am keen to use this tool in puppy 431, Wary 511 and 522, 214X-TOP9 and Lighthouse . Thanks in advance.

'That simply works,thanks so much;instead of hunting high and low for the latest pmenu.pet to update the original/default pmenu editor,greedy me .
Btw,before you came to my rescue,I've carelessly or accidentally deleted the opera icon on the desktop in the usr/share/applications folder and it became a triangle with exclamation mark inside but not linked to anything,how do I restore or remove this "hanging" icon?
Edit: It's OK,I've figured out how to remove or edit the menu item or put one on the desktop.

The link to this pet no longer works. If there is a working link can someone please edit the original post.afishe2000 wrote:Continuing work on an updated pmenu...
pmenu-3.0.0.pet
The pet for 3.0.0 REQUIRES /usr/bin/switch2 from gtk-theme-switch-i386.pet.
Using the image preview technique developed by zigbert you can now see the icons for each menu item.
(Page 28 of the Gtkdialog - tips thread)
To edit the .desktop files the program now calls "defaulttexteditor" instead of "geany" directly.
I've also included the "Exec" path information as suggested by big_bass.
Next update will include a confirmation dialog for the Full, Empty, and Delete Item buttons. I think these are drastic actions and should require a confirmation.
I am also still planning the ability to directly edit the .desktop files from the program in the future, as long as it doesn't slow it down too much.
Also playing around with the idea of sorting the items by category instead of alphabetically...
