RightClick 1.1 released

Build your own desktop menu

from JoeUser Forums
Stardock RightClick lets you design your own right-click desktop menu. Add program short-cuts, folders, disk space monitors, RSS readers, and virtually anything you can imagine to it.  Get it on its own or as part of Object Desktop.

Your desktop is usually covered with windows. No problem, RightClick enables you to assign a hot-key to bring it up any time, any where.  It's also fully skinnable and supports adding DesktopX widgets to your menus.

RightClick is easy to use yet very powerful.  Menus are created using a straight forward configuration program. Virtually anything one could imagine having in their desktop menu can be done with RightClick.

New to version 1.1:

  • Better WindowBlinds skinning support
  • Supports embedding DesktopX widgets into menus
  • Supports embedding gadgets into menus

Note: RightClick 1.1A was released on 7/27 to address a bug with how folder short-cuts were viewed.

I would just like to say that this program has actually made me use widgets/gadgets for pretty much the first time. I never used Desktop X a whole lot because my desktop is always covered up and the idea of having a bunch of random stuff pop on top of all my work when I brought widgets to the top was never particularly appealing. However, the ability to add a widget into a menu item. That has completely opened up the world of widgets to me. I've been a huge fan of RightClick since it was released (I've always used a custom desktop menu for many years, was great to get a Stardock one though), and the ability to now have things like a "Tools" menu with a calculator, unit conversion, dictionary lookup etc. built right into the menu is just fantastic.

Good job pushing the boundaries and keeping up the innovation. I love that the Object Desktop suite really lets me build whatever desktop I want for however I want to work and I really appreciate your hard work.

Thanks again!
Benjamin

Its ashame people can't figure out that its not the disagreeing but in the how that pisses people off. Because the internet is so impersonal, people think they can say anything and anyway. If people talked like they were infront of the other person, things might be said different. Fairyy~, your old enough to know that as your close to my generation and that was how we were raised.

Umm, on the topic at hand. . .

Thanks for the updates. This is a little tool I don't use that much, but is becoming more useful to me. Nice work.

I really like the added widget ability. It certainly doesn't hurt. However I was curious how to get the "uptime" as shown in one of the screenshots. I assume it might just be a simple text uptime widget of which I used to have one. I guess could simply find it and try though lol.
Nice release, working well here, except the startup option. It doesn't want to startup unless I put it in the startup folder.

I made a simple text up-time widget and used that.

Thats true Wom..so..sticking with the subject.....

The " Right Click " update number 3 that was in Stardock Central this AM Seems to have fixed all problems at this time. The Auto feature has been restored...I rely on this program now to do everything and its worth the effort to set it up..just wish it had the ability to remember your menu set up in case of reinstall errors. I've tried saving the config setting notepad but it made no difference.

PS: Thanks for answering my email Jafo..much appreciated .

to close..

i don't really want to get to involved with the way this thread has gone...not because i was 'promoted', or boss was 'demoted'..but more because i see so many threads on so many forums degenerating into rude or abusive arguments...i agree with many things Boss019 and Fairyy~ said, especially about the need to thoroughly test real releases (not beta's)......however i believe that all arguments could, and should, be carried out politely...a very wise man, robert a. heinlein, once stated that when a society can no longer say please and thank you to each other, that society is no longer worth living in...this i completely agree with....we all disagree with each other over many issues, but to reduce argument to insults and shouting removes us from the very things we should hold true....be as honest and polite to each other as we can and to treat each other as we would wish to be treated ourselves....

i want to live in a peaceful world....

Would it be possible, in the next iteration or two to add a "refresh" function to RC for refreshing the desktop. It's a function that's on the normal Windows right click menu but doesn't seem to be one of the functions I can add to RC . . .

Thanks
