Hi Måns and Matias,

Thanks for the flattering praises, it's always nice to receive words
of appreciation... on the other hand, I think we all are doing a good
job here, coding or not.

As for the modified PopupMacro... I believe that it might just be the
best way to go. The new version (not yet outthere other than a preview
in the groups [2]) allows for the most flexible positioning and
styling of popup contents, while also allowing for level +2 nested
popups.

> 1) content is added by actual separate menu tiddlers
> 2) it requires manual CSS fiddling for proper width display

re 1) not necessarily... can be sections in the same tiddler (e.g.
hidden sections in the MainMenu) and can contain automatically
generated lists, e.g. via <<tagging Blog>> or <<list ...>>
re 2) of course, it does, but that is not a restriction, it is a much
needed feature!

As Matias suggested - and I kind of agree - to completely "automate"
the menu generation (for TiddlyWorld) would be overkill. On the other
hand, I would not want to lose the ability to manually order menu
items, nor would I want to be forced into having to tag to the
corresponding element only just so that it shows up in the menu.

However, the modded version of PopupMacro that Måns has used for
demonstration purposes should soon be replaced by a more reliable as
well as more flexible one. Though, again, I would say that there
(currently) is no need to apply any of this to TiddlyWorld, I have
written a draft [1] in my TiddlySpace explaining the additions that I
would want to make to (my [modded] version of) PopupMacro ...I guess I
should eventually rename it as it's no longer much of the original. It
would be nice of you were to reply to it in TiddlySpace (as you see
fit).

As for that new version, the simpler (first) part would be to get the
one that I made with respect to Saverio's request [2] back to opening
and closing the popups when hovering the button, instead of onclick...
and maybe to allow the popups to alternatively fadeIn / fadeOut or
slideDown / slideUp.

As for MenuFlex, I think it's more of a ShowCase and as such it is
both impressive and frightening. I would always prefer to adapt
simple, well defined bits that work nicely when put together. Just by
looking at MenuFlex, I would not know where to find for those simple
bits nor how to make them usable on their own.

Cheers, Tobias.
