I'm trying to configure the popups to my liking. I've somehow managed to setup both my mouse buttons to display the same popup menu. They both display the menu defined in my \personal\popup.rc I can't seem to get the popuptheme.rc menu to display. Sorry if I seem redundant in this post, but I want to make sure I include all the information I can. Thanks in advance for the help.

Try Shift Left Click?

If that doesn't work you need to edit your personal.rc to call !PopupTheme again.

That's the thing entirely...it is defined that way in my personal.rc file.

*Desktop LButton+SHIFT !PopupTheme ;SHIFT-left-click popup menu

When I shift+left click, it displays the same menu as right clicking...both displaying the popup.rc from my personal directory. ??? I don't know mate.

make sure that it isn't defined again in your theme.rc

I'm pretty sure that's not the issue. I can change themes and the status of the popup menus stays the same. The theme I have loaded now has a popup for winamp defined in it's theme.rc but it doesn't display...just the popup.rc from my personal directory for both right and shift+left click. Same as if I had austerity loaded. Thank you for your time and attention.

There should also be a line in your personal.rc for jDesk. What is it set to?

*jDeskMButton2 [.none;!none;!Popup;!none] ;right-click popup menu
*jDeskMButton1 [SHIFT;!none;!PopupTheme;!none] ;SHIFT-left-click popup menu

I would search all of the files in your personal directory then for !Popup and see what is overriding your personal.rc

I changed back to the default theme and popups are working fine now. I deleted some files that I had copied and renamed (I didn't want to loose the originals). Works great. Thanks, chap. Kudos and all that jazz!!!
