 Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2008 12:37 pm Post subject: Hiding the menu bar |
 |
|
I'd be interested in an option to hide the menu bar (in the settings).
I always use shortcuts so it's just space consuming.
Thank you. |

Ah, that fixed it, thanks 
Though i still suggest such an option, so menu could be hidden by default and be brought back by pressing alt or so. |

You're right, that would make this layout more useful.

Top menu can be removed by entering path to empty (zero sized) file for main menu file in "Configuration -> Options -> Language", but I don't want to permanantly remove this menu, I want it to apear when I press ALT (like it's done in explorer on vista & win7)
Please consider possibility to implement this option in next release  |

| I'd like to second this. An auto-hiding menu bar to be made visible when pressing alt would be a very welcome feature. Thanks! |

The link provided in the Autorun_HideMenu module-Topic is not correct (anymore?) - it leads to russian gaming site ... (at least I cannot identify the described link on the linked site ...)
Is this module available elsewhere? |

Thanks, got it - but the link is quite difficult to follow, when you don't speak russian ... (first entering captcha - then identfy link on the download page ...)
Edit:
It's not quite clear, how to get it work Autorun_HideMenu.dll work with TCFS2 (at least my first attempts failed yet):
| Autorun_HideMenu - Readme wrote: |
1. Configuration file
Configuration file must be placed near application and have same name and extension INI. It allows to redefine command indexes to control main menu.
...
|
Which application is meant: TCFS2 or Autorun_HideMenu.dll (Autorun_HideMenu is a dll and not an application ...) or what else?
As far as I understand, described redefinition of command indexes is not needed - but it would be helpful to understand which application is meant anyway ... |

Thanks for corrections, you're right, help file means 'module' and not 'application', I'll correct it for future releases. However usually you don't need Autorun_HideMenu.ini file - in this case default IDs are used. All you really need - is to configure Autorun.wdx to start HideMenu module - to do it just add a line to Autorun.cfg: | Code: | | LoadLibrary Modules\Autorun_HideMenu.dll |
(specify full or relative path to module if it is not in Modules subfolder of Autorun.wdx installation folder)
If you've downloaded TCFS2, its INI already has ready commands to call HideMenu functions. Commands mm0, mm1 and mm2 allow to turn main menu off, on and switch. And, command mm_track allows to show main menu as popup menu. When menu is hidden, you may press Alt key to display it temporary.
To hide main menu using TCFS2 you need to e.g. execute following command:

Everything works now as hoped ...

Perhaps it might make sense to put this description/explanation in the readme as well ...
Thanks for your support and keep up your good work |

Having the notes above, it's a pretty clear documentation. The "readme" alone is a little confusing - esp. the section about "configuration file".
For example:
You write as a very first point in the readme about "configuration file":
| Readme_Autorun_HideMenu.txt wrote: |
Configuration file must be placed near application and have same name and extension INI. It allows to redefine command indexes to control main menu. |
Reading only the first sentence it implies that configuration file is not optional, but mandatory ("must be placed").
And it's only described how the command indexes are redefined - it's not described what the default values are ...
You wrote as an explanation for me: "However usually you don't need Autorun_HideMenu.ini file - in this case default IDs are used.". This sentence and describing the default ids should be sufficient additions to the readme-file in my eyes ...
Thanks for your patience |

Well, default IDs are specified after '=' mark in 1st Readme section:) just like in TOTALCMD.chm wincmd.ini help section. Ok, I'll add a note.
I've corrected that paragraph, now it looks like this: | MVV in new Readme wrote: | | Configuration file should be placed near module and have same name and extension INI. You need it only if you wish to redefine default command indexes (specified below after equals signs). |
Is it clear now?
