Hello.  
I’ ve just exported my first little app and noticed the menu that comes with it with just one item which is the name of my app.  
My question is can I access that menu, change it, create new items and use them to control actions in my app?  
Thank you very much.  
(I’m using the java ver Processing 3 in a Mac.)

Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be way to edit the app menu. But, there is the ControlP5 library - [http://www.sojamo.de/libraries/controlP5/#resources](http://www.sojamo.de/libraries/controlP5/#resources) This lets you code menus and panels within the sketch menu.

That’s unfortunate.  
I’ll surely check out that library.  
Thank you for the tip!
