Lancelot kde menu

[Skull Fire]

i usually set all my kde desktops to the classic menu system because i like the speed and ease of only mousing over catagories to open up the sub menus. i love the look of lancelot, it really awsome imho, but atleast for me, the sub catagories dont open by mousing over them. is there any secrets to do that ? or perhaps future updates that anyone knows of ?

I really like Lancelot too, and it is what I use on my main laptop. To get sub-menus to open, one either has to click on them or hover the mouse cursor over the little black upward-pointing arrow to the right of the sub-menu entry (see picture below), which works in my case. Do you mean that doing that does not cause the sub-menu to appear in your case? I think the default configuration in Lancelot Launcher Settings > Menu > General is 'No-click activation', but I expect you've checked that already?

aaah i see. . .

i am using the "tragedy" desktop theme. which is another black style theme. however with tragedy it does not have that small mouse button in the rectangle selection box. but it does have another pretty cool effect in that there is a 2nd selection box that trails behind the main selection box as you move up and down the list with the mouse.

yea, i did check for the no-click. . . i'm no developer, so i dont know the technical aspect, but im wondering why that small upward pointed arrow is needed. . .instead of just mousing over anywhere on the selection.

im gonna have to try some other black desktop themes and see what other cool stuff is floating out there for lancelot.
