Pulldown Dropdown Menus?
Posted by: rezwits on 2016-01-26 11:37:50
I am trying to get back into the swing of things now that there are quite a few "repositories" with access to the classics, as I lost most of my 1990-2000 archives.

One thing I can't seem to find or remember the name of is a way to make System 7 Menus, be able to act like Mac OS X menus.  i.e. be able to drop down on a click.

Pulldown Menus?

Dropdown Menus?

Custom Menus?

Sticky Finder?

Speedy Finder?

the last on my mind is

Now Utilities but I don't want to install those on my rebuilt/setup machines

Now Utilities always equalled head aches as I remember back in the day.

If some one can tell me which one of these was the winner please let me know thanks!

Laters...

There is a modded appearance manager for System 7, which makes it look like OS8 and you gain sticky menus.

Yeah I don't like the look of 8 I like making my 7.6.1 have all the features of OS 8 but the black white feel of 7.6.1 less video work. "Snappier" 🙂

"Sticky Menus" was the one I remember.  I think it also worked inside applications; I notice the page about StickyClick says it doesn't.

Stick Click works very well very thin.  I think the in Apps was meaning like popup menus in programs, and cmm style menus.

You can also install Appearance Manager but turn off Platinum, so you can reap the rewards of sticky menus.
