About customizing Squeak -> Preferences personalizedWorldMenu

Hello

A note:

The other thread 'About customizing Squeak -> custom world menu' is
about customizing the left click desktop menu.

But there is also the option of getting a personalized right button click menu.
Squeak 3.8.1 (see screenshot) has an entry 'personalize ...' in the
right-click menu.

Since Squeak 4.4 (maybe earlier) this is no longer available.

Still available are

Preferences personalizedWorldMenu

and

Preferences personalizeUserMenu: aMenu

But setting the preference

personalizedWorldMenu

to 'enabled' has no effect.

I wonder how to activate it.

Regards

Hannes

It's only referenced from #yellowButtonClickOnDesktopWithEvent:. You would need to connect that to a regular click one way or another. Perhaps like:

putUpWorldMenu: evt
    "Put up a menu in response to a click on the desktop, triggered by evt."

    | menu |
    self bringTopmostsToFront.
    evt isMouse ifTrue:
        [evt yellowButtonPressed
            ifTrue: [^ self yellowButtonClickOnDesktopWithEvent: evt].
        evt shiftPressed ifTrue:[^ self findWindow: evt]].
    Preferences personalizedWorldMenu
        ifTrue: [^ self yellowButtonClickOnDesktopWithEvent: evt].
    "put up screen menu"
    menu := self buildWorldMenu: evt.
    menu addTitle: Preferences desktopMenuTitle translated.
    menu popUpEvent: evt in: self.
    ^ menu
