Sure you can.
In the manual it's called "Start menu button".

I know there is a sort of freezing during the search but I'm not sure what you intend when you refer to submenu opening.
If you click on a logical container full of items, SyMenu shows you a flashing icon to notify it's loading them but you are not locked and you can open another folder with no delay.

So please let's take the two issues separated.

The first one (delay on searching) is known but not so serious. It's in my list with a low priority.
Instead I've never heard about the second one (freezing during subfolders opening) so please detail it a bit more.

IMHO it's senseless.

What's happened if you want to move fast to the an item hovering all the others? The first submenu remains frozen when you are already on the last one, cursing me because the delay.
Furthermore, since I perfectly know my menu organization I'm used to go to the item I need and move the pointer immediately on the right to enter the submenu and eventually move again on the sub-submenu. If the opening is delayed at any level I should wait on every item until the submenu decides it's time to open...


I really don't understand why a delay should be useful but probably it's because my poor imagination.

Can you point me to a program that implements this delay intentionally? This way I can understand what the benefit really is.

Ok now I understand.
The delay is to avoid the immediate menu closing when the focus or the mouse hovering is lost.

Instead when the mouse pointer switches to another submenu, no delay is needed because the fast reaction is due.


Well it's a bit complicated.

SyMenu is build on top of a standard Windows component and all the behaviors related to the component interactivity are in charge of the OS.
I can try to think about a solution for your request but I strongly doubt I can do anything.

Thank you.
