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.

| Surely all the "tick box" options were tested, or maybe not. Not good enough, its not as if this is a freebie programme. |
Well.....im sure if you go check out bash2cool's thread " Does wincustomize need a makeover " and he sure can tell you how you can get all your Stardock programs for free...not be a subscriber and still get a promotion to " Apprentice" While the rest us poor saps actually pay for the programs.
Weather Boss was right or wrong isnt even the issue here anymore. My 2 cents worth..God knows its not going to have much meaning though is it?
But..you taking away boss's Master Apprentice because he had the " audacity " to speak out or critisize...then ( nothing against you liquidguru ) you made " liquidguru an apprentice because why ? He agreed with you ? You'll say no.....but..from where I sit, thats exactly what it looks like. You could have removed Boss's comments at any time but instead you sent your message LOUD and clear..agree with me or else...
Guess i lose my ~ squiggle now but at least I dont care. And at least I wont kiss anyones butt to get a " promotion " but..i can still pay my way...

Frogboy was right, in my opinion, to take access away from him until he realizes that he needs to stop treating people like that.

Fairyy~ ...I was overly patient/tolerant of earlier comments on another thread....any 'demotions'/'promotions' here were well deserved.
As for Apprentice liquidguru his level change was in direct response to specific assistance with tracking down an error....and incidentally there are people here who stoutly refuse promotion even after being of continuous public assistance to us all.
People are allowed to be 'audacious'. They are even tolerated being 'obnoxious'....to a point.
Once that point is passed....the phrase is 'they bring it upon themselves'.
People can complain...they can draw attention to errors - bugs - problems.....but when they're doing it they can keep a damn civil tongue in their heads.
Being 'nice' doesn't actually take more effort.....

No it doesnt take more effort..and for the most part I try to be " nice "
I stated that I am not agreeing that Boss was right or wrong....but when one is demoted and then one is promoted in the same paragraph..thats the way it looks. Not everyone knows what went on in other threads. You know I prefer to not engage in this type of posting . But I sent you an email on Monday....perhaps you felt it didn't deserve a reply...or you just havent had time.
Now..getting back to the " topic "

Yes...I got it...but some will tell you I have nothing better to do than to respond instantly to the numerous emails I never get....thinking back to that exact same 'tip of the iceberg' thread....
Patience...
It's currently 1.23 am, Thursday....so it'll have to wait a little longer....

Fairy -
Liquidguru wasn't agreeing with us. He was the one who actually helped us figure out what the issue was. And there is a big difference between criticism and abuse. I don't see any reason why we should have to put up with abuse from anyone, customer or no. If you feel that you're being mistreated, feel free to leave.
Some people seem to forget that there are other people on the other side of the screen. And when I browse WinCustomize, I don't expect to see people abusing us or other people. It totally ruins the overall culture of the site. If you want to pretend that people get promoted or demoted based on whether they "agree" with us, then knock yourself out. Boss should have been demoted after his behavior in the "Does WInCustomize need a makeover" thread. It never ceases to amaze me how people on the Internet think that purchasing a $20 thing entitles them to heap scorn and abuse on people. Makes one wonder how some people behave at restraunts and movie theaters if every little thing doesn't go their way. Do they start shouting at waitresses for hours on end?

That was my point..and half the argument between you and boss..over an email you never recieved..it happens...mine is a moot point by now.
Right now..I just want my " right click " to work with losing this menu again.

Well at least "im free to leave " and wasnt told to go start my own website like you usually tell the " menfolk "
But, thats another story..
I read the whole " does wincustomize need a makeover " thread. I read how you need to increase subscription..i read how stardock pays the " Lion's share " Yet...you completely ignored my whole comment about bash2cool admitting that he has never purchased anything. He just " buys a new computer " so he doesnt have to purchase the programs...tell me whats wrong with that picture ? When confronted ...his excuse is " im only 14 " but he knows how to reformat a computer and he can skin and he has a " job " but he never heard the word " pirating " before ? You asked for solutions to the problem..increasing subscriptions. Yet, you disregard that part of the post. Instead..bash2cool is given a promotion to " apprentice " . ot long ago boss was given " master apprentice " If you thought that much of him at the time ..which was not long ago..then you could have settled this a bit nicer. Maybe you managed to keep " cool" but so many chimed in because in reality they love the " drama " as they call it.
In all the time i've been at WC you have never answered a post or a comment I have made...until now.

Good job pushing the boundaries and keeping up the innovation. I love that the Object Desktop suite really lets me build whatever desktop I want for however I want to work and I really appreciate your hard work.
Thanks again!

Thanks for the updates. This is a little tool I don't use that much, but is becoming more useful to me. Nice work.

Nice release, working well here, except the startup option. It doesn't want to startup unless I put it in the startup folder.
Reply #55 Wednesday, July 27, 2005 7:01 PM
| I really like the added widget ability. It certainly doesn't hurt. However I was curious how to get the "uptime" as shown in one of the screenshots. I assume it might just be a simple text uptime widget of which I used to have one. I guess could simply find it and try though lol. Nice release, working well here, except the startup option. It doesn't want to startup unless I put it in the startup folder. |
I made a simple text up-time widget and used that.

| Fairyy~, your old enough to know that as your close to my generation and that was how we were raised. |
Thats true Wom..so..sticking with the subject.....
The " Right Click " update number 3 that was in Stardock Central this AM Seems to have fixed all problems at this time. The Auto feature has been restored...I rely on this program now to do everything and its worth the effort to set it up..just wish it had the ability to remember your menu set up in case of reinstall errors. I've tried saving the config setting notepad but it made no difference.
PS: Thanks for answering my email Jafo..much appreciated .

i don't really want to get to involved with the way this thread has gone...not because i was 'promoted', or boss was 'demoted'..but more because i see so many threads on so many forums degenerating into rude or abusive arguments...i agree with many things Boss019 and Fairyy~ said, especially about the need to thoroughly test real releases (not beta's)......however i believe that all arguments could, and should, be carried out politely...a very wise man, robert a. heinlein, once stated that when a society can no longer say please and thank you to each other, that society is no longer worth living in...this i completely agree with....we all disagree with each other over many issues, but to reduce argument to insults and shouting removes us from the very things we should hold true....be as honest and polite to each other as we can and to treat each other as we would wish to be treated ourselves....
i want to live in a peaceful world....
