Re: bbmenu, bbtoolbar, etc

[Doug Reeves]

if there's no root menu, then what happens if you log into blackbox and 
don't have any other applications (like bbkeys) running? when I first 
started using blackbox, it took me a while to figure out that there are 
other apps that go along with it. I was able to figure out what they were 
though. Without a root menu, how would you exit blackbox with no other 
apps running? I don't think you would be able to do anything. In my 
opinion, the root menu should stay. another option would be to replace it 
with another feature that would allow you to run apps and exit blackbox, 
but I don't see much point in that.

I would be fine if the toolbar was a seperate app though. I use the 
taskbar patch and am satisified with it, but if someone else maintained a 
full app for a toolbar/taskbar, it could be capable of so much more.

that's just my two cents

Unless I'm missing something, I think it makes perfect sense. There are 
users
that have a hard time using the root and workspaces menu as they have 
their
entire desktop covered with windows. There are other users that would 
like
the menu to be a whole lot more (i.e. adding a 'Run Command' textbox to 
the
menu [Tony Stavely], or making the menu keyboard searchable [me])

For both these groups pulling the menu out of Blackbox into a bbtool is 
the
best way to go. The former will get a smaller (and faster?) Blackbox. The
latter will get everything they have always wanted in a desktop menu.

er.

I wouldn't argue that the toolbar would fit into the "could be in
another bbtool" category, but menu????  that doesn't make any sense.
=:)
that being said, the menu is already in the shared library, so anyone
can create a menu and set it to the same style as blackbox is using,
etc.
