I miss right-click too, but when I emailed stardock support to ask [a few months ago] , I was told that right-click had been abandoned, and would not be updated, but its features would be included in some future program.

let's hear from others on this.  maybe if stardock sees a renewed interest in rightclick, they will reconsider.

I hope they have something started........

As of now, RightClick is a retired application.  Before this decision was made, there was talk of possibly updating it to work on newer systems, but no schedule on this has been established.

Is there a 3rd party program that is skinable, other than Winstep, that can do the same job?  Not saying that Winstep is not a good program I was just wondering if there was something that could replace just the RightClick function?

So true. I for my part won't renew ObjektDesktop next April for the first time since 2001 if RightClick does not (in one form or another) re-surface. It was (in my opinion) the most useful and work-enhancing program that Stardock ever made, and unfortunately there is no real (Winstep is good, but to much for my needs) alternative out there (that I am aware of). 

He, he, he.  I only want a customizable Right-Click-Menu, Jafo. "Sledgehammer" seems to be too much of an understatement!! 

Hmmm, I might have to invest all of next weekend to read the Litestep manuals on "how to create a RightClick-Menu without changing the complete shell".

You think that is even possible?

Yes...

But as Jorge says re Xtreme ....it's a bit of a waste of potential...

When I changed computers last year I wasn't going to bother installing object desktop again. But I couldn't navigate without my Rightclick program. I'm sure Stardock could of fixed this application, but it was never really advertised much right from the start.  I guess there is more interest in Object Dock so thats where the resources go...its a shame. it was one of the best programs for something that seemed so simple.

Oh yeah, Powerpro! Wow, that brings back memories...

That is actually the app that prompted me to create NextSTART. Me and John T.Folden couldn't get PowerPro sub-menus to emulate the NeXT OS look properly (although it was ok for the main menu), so I wrote a small app that would pop up a NeXT looking sub-menu when one clicked on a PowerPro menu. Since we wanted different sub-menus for each button in the main PowerPro menu, I also came up with the user-definable hotspots concept (where you attach an hotspot to an app or a window and then define the clickable area in that window that activates the hotspot). Since I'm a firm believer in choice, I also made my simple menu app skinnable from the get go (although it looked by default like a NeXT OS menu).

Eventually that small app became NextSTART, and marked the begining of Winstep, over 10 years ago.
