taskbar and system tray menus

2003-06-03 Thread Jack Tanner
I know this is really, really nitpicky, and inconsequential in comparison with the great work recently done on Xfree (thank you folks enormously!), but still: can the context menu for all X clients be re-ordered such that the Exit option is bottom-most? (For example, see the context menus for a

Hi-Jack, It's fairly easy to do this (multiwindow) I assume you want the 'Close' at the bottom instead of the 'Always On Top' in the sys menus (right click on app. title or task bar) (i.e. the two menu items transposed)? and 'Exit' at the bottom below 'Show Root Window' in the tray (right click o

Jack, Let me rephrase this: 1) Move 'Always On Top' to the top of the system menu, instead of putting it at the bottom. 2) Move 'Exit' from the top of the notification tray icon menu to the bottom. Those sound doable and they both sound like standards that other Windows apps follows. I thin

Hi Harold, Code changes for this, I missed the mail earlier on doing the checkbox bit on Hide Root Window, one for you? 'Exit' to bottom on tray and 'Always On Top' to top on sys menu (better I think than the transpose with 'Close') So 'Exit' and 'Close' are now at bottom of respective menus. I

Hi Earle, I must admit I like 'Close' at the bottom. Harold must rule on this one, or else we'll keep moving the furniture around :) I'm easy either way, I won't use the menu much anyway. As always 95% of the effort goes into only 5% of the product! 'Always on Top' has a natural place somewhere I'
