With so many good powerpro scripts around, I couldn't resist the
temptation of quickly assembling some of them together.

Quadrants.zip demonstrates a "circular context" menu using the 
slidewin
script (push windows to the right edge of screen and back).

Picture a "circular context" menu as a 3x3 square, with the outer 8
squares showing arrows that point outwards. Click on one of the arrows 
and
the "right thing" happens in the direction pointed to by the arrow. 
You
get the idea, I hope.

For instance, in this demonstration the middle right arrow executes
slidewin and pushes open windows to the right edge. But you can easily
change the .ini file and add your own actions, whatever makes sense to
you and is well-described by an arrow metaphore.

Clicking on the middle button shows the bar as a menu (vertically 
stacked,
that is). Right clicking on the middle menu clears the bar and frees 
up
you mouse (or wait for the default 5 seconds, then move the mouse out 
of
the bar).

I should mention:

- (Again) this is a demonstration, its usefulness for you comes from
  adding your own actions to the bar definition. If you do, please 
share
  them on the Yahoo group.

- I prefer to think of the bar as a set of quadrants, hence I chose 
the name
  "quadrants" for the files, instead of "circular context". It's a 
matter
  of taste, this implementation will work even if you rename the files
  and the bar. It will even work with multiple bars.

Credits go to the original authors:
- descent49 aka Cüneyt Yilmaz, for his "circular context" bar
- jevisick, for the slidewin script

I modified Cü's script to free it from hardcoded bar names, and 
jevisick's
script to avoid global variables.
I also modified Cü's bar definition to use the new .ini configuration 
file
facility, and to use arrows instead of text labels.

Enjoy
