Arranging And Sorting Menu Items

Thanks for your really great and helpful program!
I must confess that arranging and sorting the menu items is sometimes very nerve-racking. Often the menu items do not end up where they should. AFAIK there is only one corresponding hotkey (move item up one level). I would like to propose to extend this procedure (item down one level, item up, item down)
Thanks for your patience. |

Sorry that I did not answer in time.
The up/down keys with a modifier key sounds good, could be very helpful.
Apart from that no bugs ;-) |

Very light outer lines in configuration menus

I have a little favour to ask.
I'm a very old man (I was 13 years old when I saw the very first Star Wars movie in cinema when it was released) and therefore my elderly eyes have some problems with the very light and thin outer lines in SyMenu configuration menus. Especially in the cascading menus "Get new apps" and "Options" it is sometimes difficult for me to find the right button.
I know it's all Win10 style... but hey, don't mention the war :-/
Could you please implement an option to adjust the color of the outer lines in the configuration menus and/or add an option for a background color?
I would like to thank you for your great work and your great support. Your app does a fantastic job and is also a good addition/replacement to the original win start menu.

Thanks for your reply. Maybe a kind of misunderstanding. I should have shortened myself, unfortunately my humor is sometimes misinterpreted.
I don't want a "theme editor" or something like that for the configurations menus.
Only a slight darken of the outer lines could do that. Win10 design is a crap, not your fault.
That was just a small wish, not a big deal.
Cause: the overlapping windows in your program design are not optimal. |

Can't say if it is "enough". Anyways, you are the best.

Thanks for your answer,
Useful - but definitely not important. Is not worth any special effort. |

Show on mouse hover: Automatic menu closure
F7

I'd like to use the "Show on mouse hover" function (SyMenu Options > General > Start menu button), but unfortunately, the menu only disappears after I've clicked on a menu item. However, if I change my mind, the menu doesn't close automatically (e.g., after 5 seconds). It also doesn't close reliably if I click anywhere on the desktop/workspace outside of the menu.
It would be great if there were an option:
"Close menu after X seconds of inactivity," where "X" is a user-defined time in seconds. |

Thanks for your quick reply.
So, the question is, how do I open or activate the SyMenu main menu when "SyMenu.exe" is running?
- Normally, I believe, it's done by clicking the system tray icon. That's fine, but what if I can't see the taskbar and therefore the tray icons (distraction-free mode, full-screen mode)? I can't access the tray icon directly; I have to perform an additional action first. Of course, that's a minor issue, I know.
- Hotkey (shortcut): That's okay too, but since I navigate within SyMenu by moving the mouse and click to start a desired action, it makes sense for me to activate the SyMenu main menu with a mouse interaction. If I wanted to be really efficient, I would just use (exclusively) keyboard-operated tools like "Flow Launcher."
- In the past SyMenu had "Mouse Gestures", but this technique doesn't work for me at all - in any program.
I usually open the main menu by clicking the floating icon, which I've positioned in the very upper left corner of the screen so that 99% of it is obscured, leaving only about 2 mm visible.
I have a program launcher that is of course nowhere near as good and comprehensive as Symenu, but which offers the option to use small areas of the screen corners as triggers. Perhaps that feature would be worth considering instead of the floating icon?
If I've fundamentally misunderstood something about how to use SyMenu, please let me know.
