<big>U</big>Kickshaw wamukela lezi zici ze-XML kanye namagama esibaluli, amanani esibaluli, kanye nokuqukethwe okuhambisana nalezi zici:

<tt><b>Element:</b>			<b>Amagama esibaluli:</b>
menu           		id, label, icon, execute
separator      		label
item           		label, icon
↳action        		name
 ↳prompt       		<i>akutholakali</i>
 ↳command      		<i>akutholakali</i>
 ↳startupnotify		<i>akutholakali</i>
  ↳enabled     		<i>akutholakali</i>
  ↳icon        		<i>akutholakali</i>
  ↳name        		<i>akutholakali</i>
  ↳wmclass     		<i>akutholakali</i>

					<b>Amanani esibaluli:</b>
action         		Execute, Exit, Reconfigure,
               		Restart, SessionLogout

					<b>Okuqukethwe:</b>
enabled        		yes, no</tt>

Ama-menu ID aqukethe uchunge olungenalutho ayavumeleka, kodwa njengananoma yiliphi i-menu ID angavela kanye kuphela kwimenyu.

Lezi zimensu ezilandelayo ziyafana futhi zamukelwa yi-Openbox kanye noKickshaw.

<tt><b>(1)</b> &lt;openbox_menu&gt;

      &lt;menu id="menu1" label="Menu1"&gt;
        &lt;item label="item"/&gt;
      &lt;/menu&gt;

      &lt;menu id="root-menu"&gt;
        &lt;menu id="menu1"/&gt;
      &lt;/menu&gt;

    &lt;/openbox_menu&gt;</tt>

<tt><b>(2)</b> &lt;openbox_menu&gt;

      &lt;menu id="root-menu"&gt;
        &lt;menu id="menu1" label="Menu1"&gt;
          &lt;item label="item"/&gt;
        &lt;/menu&gt;
      &lt;/menu&gt;

    &lt;/openbox_menu&gt;</tt>

Imenyu ihlala ibonakaliswa ngaphakathi kukaKickshaw njengoba ibonakala ku-Openbox, ngakho-ke eyesibili kulezi zibonelo isondele kakhulu endleleni ye-WYSIWYG. Ububi bwalokhu ukuthi kwizimensu ezinkulu, lokhu kungenza ifayela lemenyu libukeke lidida kancane. Ngenxa yaleso sizathu, okuzenzakalelayo uKickshaw ulondoloza imenyu ngendlela yokuqala (lokhu kungashintshwa ngaphakathi kwezinketho). Uma elondoloza ifayela, uhlelo lusebenzisa ama-tabulators koqalosikhewu okuzenzakalelayo, kodwa uma lifunda ifayela, akubalulekile ukuthi loqalosikhewu lwenziwe ngezikhala noma ngama-tabulators, njengoba kunjalo nanoma yisiphi isikhala esingenalutho.

Imenyu ingaba nezibaluli zemenyu eziphikisanayo, njengasesibonelweni esilandelayo:

<tt>&lt;openbox_menu&gt;

  &lt;menu id="menu1" label="outside" icon="out.jpg" execute="out" /&gt;

  &lt;menu id="root-menu"&gt;
    &lt;menu id="menu1" label="inside" icon="in.jpg" execute="in" /&gt;
  &lt;/menu&gt;

&lt;/openbox_menu&gt;</tt>

Kulesi simo, uKickshaw ulandela isibonelo se-Openbox futhi ubonisa inani lesibaluli se-icon elisuka ngaphakathi kwemenyu yomsuka, kanti ubonisa amanani esibaluli se-label kanye ne-execute asuka ngaphandle kwemenyu yomsuka.
