Hi,
Thanks a lot for your great application 
Could you make a more compact menu view to hide SyMenu items which are not used often.
So giving us a fastest acces to our applications.
I mean instead to have the menu item "Exit", we could have a container "SyMenu" with follwing Options (removed from main menu) :
- Run Item (OpenFolder/Item properties/Run as)
- Tools-> Configuration, Enable, ...
- Exit
And remove the title "SyMenu" on top of the main menu.
And add an option to hide "Search items".
See attached file.
Regards,
Olivier

Hi Olivier.
I could implement a new option to choose among the normal view and the compat one but I need to study the problem before.
Anyway the implementation could be included in 1.17 version because 1.16 will be released in a few days.
Thank for your suggestion.

Hi Gianluca,
my SyMenu is much much bigger than Oliviers'.
I also have a suggestion for menus with really much items and folders inside:
Make a hotkey to jump directly to the "search". So after hotkey the user can easily type inside the searchfield.
BUT "PortableFirefox" should also be found after typing "firefox".

Hi PoWi.
The hot key you mentioned already exists... Go to the options in configuration form, tab "Hot keys", enable "Shortcut manager" and check the flag on "Set focus on search bar".
I already thought to make the search sensible to any string even the ones inside the name, but it generates too much mess. I can create a custom option for this so if you can choose the behavior of the search.

Yes I know that there is ONE hotkey. I wanted one hotkey for opening SyMenu and another for search. :-)

Version 1.17 : "It is now possible to hide elements (shortcut F3). An hided item become invisible in contextual menu and in the search but exists and is visible in configuration form"
But you still can not hide sysmenu items (or reorganize/move them)

We will have a new feature for the next version: compact menu!
In the image a nearly definitive design.

Any idea about Win8 compatibility?

Hi Coastie.
I've already tested SyMenu with a pre-release version of Win8 and all works well.
There is no integration with the metro UI in SyMenu but it seems it is not a problem because Win8 guarantee backwards compatibility.
If anyone detects some compatibility issue with Win8 please let me know.

great. I already use symenu as the start menu replacement in Win7, so having it in win8 as the only menu will be just fine. Plan to just use the desktop in Win8, and avoid what used to be called the metro UI whenever possible.
