SyMenu duplication
I perfectly agree with your solution. It seems good and fast enough.


One only submenu
Well I don't agree with you but SyMenu is a free animal, so be my guest your two levels solution is perfect if you like it. As my 3 and 4 levels solution is perfect for me


Different colors shades
Please remember that your solution with two only levels is just yours. If someone else needs three levels should I offer three shades?
Currently you can create a two colors shade in every single menu level playing with the theme. The basic themes instead are all solid colors. Try to create a black shade, probably your need to discern the two levels is satisfied the same.


Tooltip
The tooltips are already standardized. You can choose what to include in the tooltip (it's in the options). Naturally if a program lacks an element, that element doesn't appear in the tooltip.Can you explain better what you intend here?

Description
If a publisher changes a program description the only way to get that particular description in an already configured program is removing and adding the program itself. You can see the updated description only in the Manage SPS Apps form.

Why this behavior? It's because a user like me, like you, needs to customize the description of his own configured programs and needs to have the description untouched even after a program update.


Tooltip character limit

I don't like this solution. The tooltip is not an invasive object and you can disable it at all. Plus it disappears by itself and if you don't want to see it you can move the mouse pointer faster. So why you hate the poor tooltip so much?

Separate launcher in linked folder
When I implemented it I checked if the separate launcher was feasible but unfortunately it wasn't.
Anyway... if you check the Show as a link checkbox you will have your separate folder... in Explorer or in any other launcher with the proper plugin.]]> Sun, 13 Jun 2021 21:54:17 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=815
Actually the fastest way I can think of to duplicate different SyMenu for my nephew, self and others is to create a "master" copy and then to install/uninstall apps according to needs. Dealing with Java JARs, batch files has been too complex for me. Gave up and switched to non-Java apps. Can solve one app, but can't solve another.


Whilst doing that, here's my feedback on UI, colour, 'tooltip' box sizes, etc. Here's my experience to share:

• Max, only one single level main container: Difficult to go beyond single level due to sub-menu appear at different levels and speed of changes.
  
  
• When I have another sub-container and if menu is placed to side of screen, sub-sub menu ended up flipping back to the main menu side, thus overlapping the main menu. Same colour b/g is rather confusing and the speed of menu switch is too fast. Hence, made do the best with current layout to be functional enough. haha.
  
  
• Perhaps few different hues of black colour if is chosen as main theme. Base menu darkest, 2nd level container lighter, tooltip, light colored/boxed.
  
  
• More standardized tooltip box size: Perhaps like Twitter style of charcount? Form fields like to fill-up? As in General Info, Further Desc/Specs/latest changelog
  
  
• Not sure whether any SyMenuSuite apps update if publisher changes desc whether what I typed/edited inside would be gone.
  
  
• Making it informative enough for my nephew to understand the choice of apps passed to him to explore with.

• tooltip / description could have some kind of charcount to limit description text to necessity. Speed of submenu switches makes it difficult
  
  
• Like the cool feature LINK TO FOLDER with items displayed. It would be great if can create Separate Launcher for this. Easier to browse through files within and act as if a small mini-Win Explorer.

If can have more structure for like desc/tooltip, would be glad to help out on edits.
