I'm already working on an option to activate the taskbar button for SyMenu. This way the pinning becomes viable.
The only problem is the button doesn't behave as one would expect. When you click on a taskbar button you expect that something will popup but SyMenu does not have a normal window like the other programs, it only has a contextual menu..


For what it's worth: a button does appear on the taskbar for the "update/get new apps" window (it can even get pinned - which wouldn't be of much help, obviously).
A program-button would help, for starting SyMenu (as I don't want it to start automatically). The icon in the notifications-area and the floating button do work for me, so no need to fix anything there.]]> Tue, 22 Oct 2024 13:39:42 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=906 Message from Gianluca The only problem is the button doesn't behave as one would expect.

I did some experiments to make the contextual menu appear when you click on the taskbar button but, again, it seems unnatural. Plus since the contextual menu disappears when it loses focus, in some circumstances you have a sort of blinking because the taskbar button is still active even if the main control loses its focus, for example when you click on a SyMenu item... it's a mess.

For these reasons the new version will be released with the option to show a taskbar button that will have no use unless the pin one. I hope it'll help the same.]]> Fri, 26 Jul 2024 10:31:51 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=906 Message from jtbox
I assume it's because it doesn't have a Windows taskbar when it runs. Which is a pity because it's the only reason I'm not using it as much as I'd like. I created a menu with shortcuts of my liking, but most of the time I forget it exists in the notifications area.]]> Thu, 25 Jul 2024 22:46:34 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=906 Message from sl23 Thu, 25 Jul 2024 20:28:23 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=906 Message from jtbox Gianluca wrote:
No it isn't but it's a good idea to make it possible through customization. I'll put it in my TODO list.



Thanks for replying. Would be greatly appreciated, if it's not a huge deal to implement.]]> Mon, 22 Jul 2024 12:33:00 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=906 Message from Gianluca Mon, 22 Jul 2024 08:10:57 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=906 Message from jtbox
A thing that feels a bit frustrating is the fact SyMenu doesn't show up on Windows taskbar at all. I know it has an icon in the notifications area, but having a taskbar would allow me to pin it on my taskbar so it feels like a proper start button. The floating icon isn't of much use unfortunately. I moved it on to the taskbar, but it immediately gets covered by the taskbar as soon as I click it. I tried having the floating button somewhere else over the desktop, but it feels a bit disruptive.

So now whenever I want to run something via SyMenu I have to go to the notifications, click the "Show notifications" arrow and then click on SyMenu.

Is there some way to pin button on the taskbar?]]> Sun, 21 Jul 2024 18:02:07 GMT
