      I was thinking more along the lines of how they are in the package list when installing, but you have to keep in mind that the menus are only a certain width, we can't put that much text there or it will wrap or look weird. Doing submenus is probably out of the question, browsers like IE choke enough on the menus as-is, I'd hate to see what they'd do with submenus.

      It's not too much of a stretch to expect that if someone installed the unbound package that they look under Services > Unbound, but it could be clearer in some ways. Perhaps the package install process could print a list of newly added menu options once the install is complete.

        Unbound does say the following in the post install info section "Please visit Services: Unbound DNS to configure the Unbound DNS service…", however I have added some additional information to inform the user on where to configure the service in the Description field in the Package Manager page.

        This doesn't address everybody's concern below but at least helps provide direction for a new user.

          Why not make the menu "floating" so people can drag items around to their liking?

          A menu configuration tool for Pfsense, that is user friendly?

            If someone supplies the code, perhaps, but it's not that easy, especially when you have to take the package menus into consideration.
