Gemini is a menu applet that can take either of two identities (or, indeed, a combination of both). At it simplest, Gemini is a column of images that function as linking buttons to different URLs. Each image in the column can be different, if desired, and Gemini can handle an unlimited number of these buttons. Every 'slot' in this column can respond to focused and pressed states by displaying alternative images. These images can optionally be 'sticky' - when pressed, a button can stay pressed until a different button is selected.

Gemini's second rôle is that of tree-menu: the buttons continue to perform exactly as above, but when a button is pressed, instead of linking to a URL, a column of text or image links will be displayed below it, with the lower buttons dropping down to make room. In this way, the button acts as a type of 'heading' for a group of related links. Any heading can have an unlimited number of links attached to it, and these links are also 3-stage mouse responsive, with fonts and colors fully editable or a set of individual images for each link. It's also possible to use a combination of both 'identities', as mentioned earlier: you can choose to have some buttons making direct links, while others act as headings that drop down the tree structure, and yet more do both.

Gemini is also compact. Only one 'heading' can be open at a time, so the maximum vertical space required will be the applet's height when the heading containing the greatest number of text-links is open. In addition, Gemini supports sounds, with a single sound played when any link is clicked, and further sounds for 'heading open' and 'heading close'.

NEW IN v2.0!  Along with stylish animation, Gemini now supports the Cool Focus Smart Cursors and Scripted Links features and allows a choice of selector to appear over text links. Individual links can now use images rather than text, and a Testmode feature has been added. If you're upgrading from v1.x of Gemini, please note that some changes to your page will be needed.
