Message-ID: Date: 13 Dec 89 19:18:43 GMT Sender: news@crdgw1.crd.ge.com Reply-To: (Skip Montanaro) Organization: GE Corporate Research & Development, Schenectady, NY Lines: 16 Open Look allows you to pin menus to the screen. Unfortunately, they become just other windows, and are subject to being covered up. Consequently, pinned menus sometimes (for me, often) get covered up, so there's little use pinning them in the first place. I'd like to see a "Here Menu!" function that would cause any pinned menus to float to the top of the stack. Given the existing mouse semantics, I suspect it might best be tied to a PointButton double-click over the root window. Some might prefer to have pinnable menus that won't let themselves get covered up, thus preserving current mouse semantics. Any comments? -- Skip (montanaro@crdgw1.ge.com)
