A couple of requests for improving the look and feel of TLB settings.
1. The small triangular scrollers top and bottom of the Context Menu seem minimal to me. Compare them to the ones we can get on new menus which allow scrolling up and down by hovering the pointer down the bottom or up the top of the menu. The TLB Context menu just sports a single triangle/arrow which doesn't respond to a hover, nor click-and-hold. Single and repeated clicks are needed.
2.a. Then, there's the confusion I get with a variety of different 'Properties' options on the TLB Context Menu. Well maybe not a great variety, but in some menus Properties at the bottom of a 'C:drive' context menu I've created applies (properly) to the details about the Drive, but there's also a second 'Properties' higher up on the context menu offering the same info.
2.b. On another of my new menus, which points to various 'Work' folders, 'Properties' offers info under these headings: General/Sharing/Customising', yet these are also available from the same context menu under 'Sharing and Security'. Maybe there's some duplication going on.
2.c. Further, I am confused by 'Appearance->Button Properties'. In the Appearances sub-menu, higher up, is Change Icon/Change description etc. Can I suggest putting some or all of those options inside the Button Properties dialogue box and calling it Button Options or Settings. 'Change Description' could more usefully be called 'Custom Caption and Description', to show it's different from 'Button Label'.
Meanwhile, please accept my appreciation for a very useful file-finding app, a great app-launcher, and a name that sounds like True Lunch Bar!
