Configuration
=============
By default, Application Menu does not have access to user specific
``Applications`` directory (located in the ``~/Applications``). In order to
be able to list those applications in the Application Menu, you will need to
grant access to mentioned directory. That can be done in the application
``Settings``, as shown below:

After you have granted the access, make sure to refresh the applications list
(click on the ``Refresh`` item in the menu).
