An enhancement request. The on-the-right-side-only arrows - take more place when using many launchers with menus attached - are less intuitive than arrows on top of the launchers - are less practical than top or bottom arrows, especially when using a laptop touchpad - don't look good (personnal opinion), and don't look Xfceish The "press the launcher and wait the timeout" alternative is not practical, especially when "browsing" several menus, at least with the current need to click twice in order to open another menu. I'd like to see this feature back. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Sorry, couldn't resist. I swear that I've really tried to get used to it, and I know you are in an early stage of development for the 4.4 panel, with other priorities in mind.

I'm just wondering what would be the best interface. Would a global option in the launcher dialog be very unintuitive?

I must confess part of the reason I didn't change anything yet is to see if you would change you mind ;-) Yeah, I'm evil. cheers, Jasper

I see the problem. You don't want a global option in the mcs dialog since a launcher is a plugin like another one, but indeed a global option in the launcher properties dialog is not very intuitive... I would personaly vote for a global option in the panel mcs dialog, like it was before. After all, hosting the launchers is the first reason for the panel to exist... I don't know about the internal coding considerations, though. > I must confess part of the reason I didn't change anything yet is to see > if you would change you mind ;-) > Yeah, I'm evil. Yes you are! ;) Cheers
I agree, PLEASE return this option!
