I want to get submenus from a popup to display such that the top-left corner is at the cursor's current position (upon clicking), so I can more quickly navigate the menus. Is there any relatively simple way to do this?
You could probably do it using an mzscript (%{mousex} %{mousey}) and the positioning parameters of popup2 !bangs.
that behavior would require that you make not submenus, but popup entries that merely call other popups (that are your 'submenus').
Thanks. I'll work with it in a couple hours.
Edit: Worked first try using separate popups.
/me remebers a certain config menu in one of tnl's themes...
...and where would such a thing be found? I'd be all for trying it as long as it doesn't require a restart to undo damage (I tried Glaze 1.1 looking for something a few days ago...evil!)
The themes here go straight from th to tr.
I've been out of lurking LS forums for several months, so...
Sorry to deviate from the theme of this thread.
If you have a problem with Glaze, shoot me an e-mail. I'm keen to fix any problems users might find. I know of a couple of bugs with it but certainly nothing that requires a reboot so your experiance with Glaze has me curious.
DrWorm: I *HATE* anything changing the display settings. But that's easy to fix in and of itself. In this case, it was that windowsblinds didn't like it and crashed after a few seconds of running. logging off and back on didn't fix it, but a restart did. I imagine the said restart would probably have fixed it if I stayed with Glaze as well, but I didn't find what I was looking for in there, so I don't know.
(BTW, what I was looking for was Skinbox, but I couldn't remember the name at the time--I already had PNGs ready and found that Label didn't like them)
Theme is now up and running, just needs neatening up with the RCs, and since I'm kinda lazy :) :

I don't like themes that change my system colours either :) Which is why I took advantage of a feature that will automatically restore your old system colours when you disable syscolors through the theme popup.
I've never tested themes with Windows Blinds and since I'm not a fan of WB I doubt I ever will. Though if someone does find a bug and knows how to correct let me know so I can implement the change in any later versions.
Cerbie, looking to make context menus, or just trying to conserve screen-space (out of curiousity)? Would atypical PopupOffsetX and PopupOffsetY parameter achieve a similar effect (not exactly at the mouse cursor, but....)
Tangentially: Have used WindowBlinds intermitantly over a year's time and haven't noticed any erratic behavior when using Glaze.
Ideally I wanted to be able to click on the option and have the top-left of the menu be at the cursor, the first menu selections selected, so I could just click-click-click down the menus, without making L-shaped mouse movements all over. it's a bit more work making individual menus, but it workd.
