RightClick 1.1 released
Build your own desktop menu
Tuesday, July 26, 2005 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Your desktop is usually covered with windows. No problem, RightClick enables you to assign a hot-key to bring it up any time, any where. It's also fully skinnable and supports adding DesktopX widgets to your menus.
RightClick is easy to use yet very powerful. Menus are created using a straight forward configuration program. Virtually anything one could imagine having in their desktop menu can be done with RightClick.
New to version 1.1:
- Better WindowBlinds skinning support
- Supports embedding DesktopX widgets into menus
- Supports embedding gadgets into menus
Note: RightClick 1.1A was released on 7/27 to address a bug with how folder short-cuts were viewed.

Below are the files that should be in the RightClick directory. Please make sure yours are updated. If it asked for a reboot earlier and you might have deffered that for later, please do so now.
I don't have easy answers tonight, so far we're not able to reproduce these crashes. Worst-case, zip up your RightClick dir, remove Either the files below or the whole directory, and see if this is happening with a totally fresh install.

this problem happens when i have, in the menu item properties, unchecked the box "show folder in a menu"...if i leave the box checked, i can rightclick on the 'my computer' menu item, select 'open' from that menu, and it opens 'my computer' in a folder, without crashing..

I trust none of us have a papal grant of infallibility.

Updated, rebooted, RC icon showed up in systray, but there was no menu when I right clicked. Nothing at all. Went in and had to make a whole new setup because mine was gone. Got everything set up, but nothing on right click.
Uninstalled, rebooted, installed. Works, but had to rebuild the menu. Having a 'theme' file to load would have saved some of that.
...oops, just saw a newer update (7/26) will install that one and see. History shows a skin editor tool! Sounds promising
Like the widget tie in!

Not after the last month of problems you've created.

Okay Boss, you're done. This is like the gazillionth post in the gazillionth thread where you've just been nothing but nasty. I think it's time you consider your behavior. Just checking your personal page's activity tab shows page after page of nastiness directed at us. From here on out, use [email protected] for tech support on SD software. Nakor and myself are trying hard at 10pm to resolve this problem -- and we're not tech support. Because we use RightClick in a slightly different way than you do doesn't make the product as bad as you describe. We're talking ONE setting in ONE area that causes a problem. We should have a solution within the next 24 hours hopefully.
In a few days I'll restore your access to citizen and see if you can interact with people with some civility.
By contrast, LiquidGuru, thank you for your help. We have increased your access to elite level (Apprentice).

What is Anamania for which you thank Hippy? I don't see that on the skins list.
Will play around with that editor. Looks pretty straight forward, but it doesn't save menu setup/layout(?).
Designing a menu with the editor was easy. Saved it (why doesn't it save it in the RC skins folder?)
btw...thanks for being up at 10pm for this. It's nice that you care enough to do that

(hah, close enough right?).Reply #36 Tuesday, July 26, 2005 11:15 PM
i'm very glad it got sorted... i appreciate you all taking time to solve a frustrating problem....
and a big cheers !! for the increase in level
from the sunny caribbean...

Although you probably don't need any more confirmation, I see the same thing liquidguru does
One other thing I've noticed is that when I add a widget, in some cases, it causes the menu to act up. By that I mean that the menu will stretch across the screen, and the widget will be shown on the far right margin of the menu. A good one that does this is OmniTime2 by Tiggz. Is this likely to be related to the version of DX that the widget was built under, or is it possibly related to something in the widget itself?
Anyway, no huge deal, I may poke around inside the widget myself and see how much damage I can do
but figured you all might want to check it out if it's something you haven't already seen.Thanks for all the great stuff!

I would like to know what sort of testing you did. A dozen people here discovered the problem within a few hours! (minutes). Surely all the "tick box" options were tested, or maybe not. Not good enough, its not as if this is a freebie programme.
Boss, I know you're probably on the brink of suicide right now after your public demotion by Frogboy but we have an apprenticeship vacancy going at my place of work if youre interested. We need someone to make our cups of tea. Or you could just start kissing the frogs ass and turn him into a handsome prince and you'll be made a wizop or a journeyman or a knight or queen or something.

I like the idea of having Programs being sorted differently on the Startup Menu and in righclick.
