Icons in the root menu? That's how different approaches are, I find it easier to quickly identify the menu items with icons+text in the root menu. But I also have over -6 diopters, massive astigmatism (without glasses, circles are ellipses for me, if they are close enough that I can see them at all without glasses). And one eye is almost only good for recognising differences in brightness.
The reason I use fbmenugen is not only because of the icons, but also because I generally have more configuration options regarding the appearance and structure of my menus.
