As of today, I have stopped developing GExperts in the formatter branch and switched to the trunk of the repository.

Prompted by a post from +Attila Kovacs I have added the menu designer form (TMenuBuilder) to the list of forms which GExperts enhances. In this case, it only stores the size and optionally the position of the form.
