I'm fed up of my start menu's (right click on desktop program menu thing) sub menus dissapearing if my cursor accidentaly moves onto another item while moving to the new sub-menu. (I hope that makes sence.)

Is there any varyable I can set to make the menu stay open untill I click on something else? I've looked everywhere and can't find anything.

Sorry if this post isn't very gramaticaly correct, it's been a loooong day.


Thanks for any help, Oliver.

PopupOverlapX "[number]"
PopupOverlapY "-$PopupTitleHeight$"


in the OverlapX pos you can enter a number and it will make a distance between the menu and sub-menu (0 is menu-submenu, 1 is one pixel between menu-submenu, -1 overlays submenu-menu)
Same as OverlapY (keep the settings I set in here on thy OverlapY, you'll see what I ment why :D)

another thing is the popup itselfs. if there are a lot of "magic pink" elements (transparency) between the entrys, it is also possibe that it dissappers.

It would be a good feature to have a short delay before a popup disappeared when the mouse isn't hovering over it.

Another feature might be to have an option of left clicking the submenus to have then appear and disappear rather than automatically.
