Yes, Onyx is st65ill around and it's working very good. Note that you 
need the specific Onyx version for the system - i.e. there is a specific 
version for OS X 10.4.x, one for 10.5, one for 10.6, 10.7.x 10.8, etc. 
You can find the right version on the Onyx webpage.

Also there is the app 'Cocktail', which will do the same as Onyx and 
here also you need a specific version for which system you'¨re using. 
Cocktail is now shareware...

MainMenu / MainMenu Pro is another app that will do most of the same as 
Onyx and Cocktail. Plus that MainMenu will do some more specialized work 
which aren't included in Onyx/Cocktail. MainMenu / MainMenu Pro can 
either run automatically in background or be operated manually.
<http://mainmenuapp.com/>

If you can find the older ver. MainMenu 1.7.4 you could try if it'll 
work on your wife's system. The v.1.7.4 is freeware, where the new Pro 
ver. also is shareware.
