Rightclick rewrite?
Saturday, May 29, 2010 by rustysam | Discussion: Stardock Support General
Will there be a rewrite for rightclick?
the program won't run on windows 7 64-bit.
I was told some time ago that a rewrite might be in the works.

Oh yeah, Powerpro! Wow, that brings back memories...
That is actually the app that prompted me to create NextSTART. Me and John T.Folden couldn't get PowerPro sub-menus to emulate the NeXT OS look properly (although it was ok for the main menu), so I wrote a small app that would pop up a NeXT looking sub-menu when one clicked on a PowerPro menu. Since we wanted different sub-menus for each button in the main PowerPro menu, I also came up with the user-definable hotspots concept (where you attach an hotspot to an app or a window and then define the clickable area in that window that activates the hotspot). Since I'm a firm believer in choice, I also made my simple menu app skinnable from the get go (although it looked by default like a NeXT OS menu).

Eventually that small app became NextSTART, and marked the begining of Winstep, over 10 years ago.
