First, it is beeing tested right now, by you, me, and others. That's the nature of beta software. :)
Second, I believe IconX within DX is or will be dropped to have IconX only as a seperate app.

Seems to be working great for me. Just a little buggy when it pops up from time to time.
How do I go about skinning this? How do I create an .obskin file?

I know paxx, I just meant that it's such an obvious issue that they would certainly already know about it, so one would think they would have mentioned it. I know IconX already is available standalone, but I hadn't heard they were going to totally de-integrate it with DX... But I guess that doesn't change the fact it doesn't get along with RightClick.

| and broken with dual monitor setup - menu only appears on primary adapter |
Working on dual monitors here with one small annoyance......... the menu pops up left of the cursor on 2nd monitor regardless of position on screen, which means if I click too near the left edge of 2nd monitor, the menu will be split between both moniotrs.

RightClick should also be able to import in your WindowBlinds skins.
As for DesktopX - what we hope to do is have RightClick detect whether you're running DesktopX and add a DesktopX entry to the menu.

RightClick did NOT respect my unchecked "Show Desktop Icons" desktop right-click setting. When I start RightClick, it immediately brings back my desktop icons, which I obviously want hidden. Also, OD zoom no longer works and my wallpaper disappears, too! I'd also like to be able to have the "New" submenu available to me with RightClick.

I agree with CaveBear, having the "New" submenu that lets you create new objects from the available templates is very important. Preferably it should make available everything that was already on explorer's right-click menu.
Also, I'm not quite sure how I can import into RightClick an ObjectBar popup bar I'd already created. Is that even possible yet?

Also doesn't work with IconX. 
And I was also hoping to have my GERMAN right-click menu back an my GERMAN system. Not that I have any problems with english, but I don't like it mixed in system areas very much...

Got so excited when it poped up just like the name says. Started modifying the entries and everything was going along really well. Until it crashed. And none of the changes stuck. This morning I'll start all over again and exit/restart after every change.
Need a [X] Hide desktop Icons option for those of us not using DX. TIA

I haven't played with it much, but it looks like it's going to be a great program.

Only one application problem so far, hangs on shutdown for both my tablet and desktop. "Program not responding" Ending or waiting resolves.
My personal problem now is what to I migrate from my OD+ tabs to right click?

Cool Beans!!
Like Exodus Crow I'd like some hints on modifying the skins. I'm using my current skin but I need the text to offset to the right like the QNX skin does.

This is something I can really use. BUT there are a few things...
OK, I figured out how to offset the text now I'd like to know if there is a way to make the folders "fly out" menus instead of adding all the contents to the main menu? I do this on the task bar by making a toolbar out of a folder and then setting the handle all the way to the left. I use this EXTENSIVELY for cad drawings. My main folder contains a folder for each year since 1990 and each of those contain approx 50-100 subfolders and any new jobs that are waiting for a Job #. Please tell me there's a way to incorporate this into right-click. If not currently then I'd like to add it to the wish list.

Couple more items
1. After using the systray item and then deleting it (couldn't get any results with it) it left it's "space" in the window. Now anything I delete from the main menu or a sub-menu leaves it's "space" empty. I tried unloading/reloading, changing skins, and shutting down and restarting. The empty spaces remain.
2. Not sure of the sequence of events but more than once clicking an item has unloaded Window Blinds. At least once it was when I clicked "Add more shortcuts here" on the Pop-Up Menu.
3. I did find out that the Pop-Up menu would create the Fly-Out folder menus I wanted.

@Lantec, you can resize the menu's manually. Move your mouse to the edge of an open one, and the resize cursor will apear.
