Hi,
"Always on top" feature is greyed out for "Foxit reader" (a lightweight alternative to adobe acrobat reader, I believe many engineers are using that). I use 64 bit version, https://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf-reader/.

• That "Minimize to system tray" option comes from foxit itself, menu entries from MenuTools are greyed out

A little bit of spam: I jumped to https://github.com/AlexanderPro/SmartSystemMenu while your project was "on hold" (cannot remember exact reason, maybe x64 applications was not handled in "MenuTools"..?). Maybe you will will be interested in features it has to offer. The show stopper for that project is that it does not support google chrome, so I am switching back to menu tools to tryout.

Thank you for making a must have addon for windows OS, great work :)

It would be awesome if I could set the application as a "tray application".
Whenever this application is minimized, it would be minimized to the toolbar. Something like automatic "Minimalize to tray".

Hey, I have just come across your great little application here and I am very happy with it. I am interested to see if you can include an option in the installer for a portable installation/create a portable version of the program? Just an idea. Thank you for your hard work and super useful app!

I use the K lite codec pack as a video player. When I right-click with the mouse and come to the option "always on top" from the menu, the menu suddenly closes.

Installed, works, great.
Thanks!

Request:

Add an option for toggling the taskbar icon of an app. Similar to minimize to tray but doesn't minimize the window.

Further explanation:

This is a bit of a niche one but I think it fits this tool pretty well.
I have a few apps that I leave open on my desktop but I don't really want them cluttering up my taskbar. I think it would be super handy to have an option to hide the taskbar icon (or move it into the tray instead). I think it fits nicely in combination with the Always on top feature to complete that popup feel for specified windows.

Meanwhile, I congratulate you on this fantastic feature.
As per object, however, the new function that allows you to hide the icon from the systray does not work for me, or maybe I don't know how to make it work. However, in the menu I cannot find the option to hide the tray icon. In reality, the application integrates perfectly with the system menu and once installed it makes no sense to remove it or know that it is active.
Thanks for your work anyway.

It would be a great addition to have keyboard shortcuts for the actions of MenuTools.

MenuTools produces this warning at the start of the system for no apparent reason. Despite this warning, MenuTools is running and working as intended.

I want to have an app launched at startup and have it remember the transparency settings I used previously with MenuTools.

Some programs, such as Discord, Chrome, Firefox, Sticky Notes, etc have custom system menus at the top that prevent the usage of this tool. There should be a way to use MenuTools in these applications.

Lack of windows options on an OS called Windows lead me to frustration. Anyway, the option to pin a window to all virtual desktops (workspaces) would be nice.

Make the window click through so it could layover on top of other applications.

Hi

The context menus for Win 10 metro apps (e.g. Edge, Calculator) don't show the added options, is there any chance of adding this in?

Cheers!

Hi,

I've got a problem starting MenuTools on my 64bit Windows 10. There's no problem on a 32bit Windows 10.
It seems, that there's a problem, when MenuTools.exe tries to launch MenuTools64.exe if you're not in the MenuTools install folder.
As MenuTools requires admin rights, I've created a scheduled task running
c:\program files\menutools\menutools.exe
with highest priviledges to circumvent UAC. This doesn't work. The process exits silently.
Adding the working directory doesn't work either.

But - as a workaround - launching
cmd /c start /d "c:\program files\menutools" /b menutools.exe
works fine.

Is there a way to toggle open-on startup ? I didn't select when initially installing the app but now seems like there is no way to set it.

The middle click option isn't very consistent when using a laptop. Though a 3 finger tap works sometimes, I'd love to see it also as an option in the context menu with the other MenuTools functionality so I don't have to keep hammering the trackpad to try and get windows to roll up. Thanks

Love the program btw, great work!
