Re: taskbar and system tray menus


Hi Colin and Harold.

It seems like there is a storm of nit-picking this week, must be something
in the air.  Anyhoo...

Subject: Re: taskbar and system tray menus
..
'Exit' to bottom on tray and 'Always On Top' to top on sys menu (better I
think than the transpose with 'Close')
So 'Exit' and 'Close' are now at bottom of respective menus.
----------------------

My nit is this placing the custom items before the system items
in the title menu is against all other Windoze UIs I've ever seen:
nobody adds things to the top of the popup menu.  Check for yourself,
right-click on a CMD shell or cygwin shell, you see the
Edit/Defaults/Props menu items after the Windoze standard ones.
Right-click on an IE mini-icon in the title bar, you get "Close"
followed by "Make available offline".  Or a regular explorer window,
you get "Close" followed by all the other items...
