Show Root Window/Hide Root Window -- [Checked/Unchecked] Show Root Window?

2004-03-18 Thread Harold L Hunt II
I was just about to remove the tray menu icon's Show Root Window and 
Hide Root Window items and add a single checked or unchecked item 
called Show Root Window.  I figured I had better do a sanity check and 
ask if there was a reason that this was not done in the first place... I 
can't remember if I didn't do it this was just because I didn't know the 
right functions to call, or if there was as valid but hidden reason for 
doing this.  Can anyone else recall a reason why this should not be done 
with a check mark next to the menu item?  It is supposed to be supported 
since Windows 95, so compatibility is not an issue.

If you're out messing with the tray menu, you might also change Exit 
to Close and add an X (close) icon next to it... (to see what I mean, 
right-click on a Windows Explorer menu in the task bar).
