- Would it technically be possible to write a stable MenuToFront utility? I
- was thinking that it would be very nice to have a utility that would bring the
- Workbench Tools menu to the frontmost screen, a lot like the Mac's "Apple"
- menu except with the menu on the extreme rightmost side of the screen instead
- of the left. Of course such a utility would suffer from many of the same
- problems that plague utilities that attempt to bring a clock to the frontmost
- screen, in that the utility generating the menu would have to be very well
- written to properly evacuate a closing screen or cause a crash, which is why
- I am asking if it would be possible to do this in a stable manner.
-
- Of course, it would be even nicer to have this as part of the OS, but that
- might risk litigation from Apple.
