[maemo-developers] Submenues in Fremantle

[From: Till Harbaum / Lists]

Hi,

i already tried this and it looks much better than the extra windows.  
Why are there different tutorials/style guides for this?

There are just one or two things i'd like:

- Is there are trick to add seperators or the like to a HildonAppMenu?
- Can i add a title? I'd like if the submenues are somehow titled like
 the main menu entries they were reached from.
