Hi Eliot,

Here is the image as attachment.




At least, I would like the ability to replace SqueakOSXApp spread over all the menus (I think it is the same property that is used at different places).
It would be nice to also add new menu items but I think it is more difficult because the VM needs ti be aware of these new items to handle them.

Yes, signing could be an issue for apps. it should work if the app is also signed (I mean re-sign everything. We do that for Pharo Launcher).
I agree it is best to have it right in the base build.

One of the issues would be that it may not be possible to resign the executable if the app's Contents/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib is modified. So it is preferable to get the menu right in the base build.
