Description
Discussing classic theme here with single row-taskbar. reactOS r74680
The start-button leaves a tiny line of pixels to the left and bottom free. This is good.
Opening a context menu there will give us the taskbar context menu and not the start-button-context menu. Exactly like on Windows.
However when single-clicking with the left button in this tiny area, Windows 2k3 and XP would open up the start-menu while reactos does not. Can we apply some convenience hack to open the start-menu then too please. It is much easier then to just quickly move the mouse cursor bottom-left to the max and then click.
Fun fact:
Windows XP SP3 achieves this by actively moving the mouse over the start-button as soon as the user left-clicks. So the cursor "jumps on left-click towards the start-button" (actually pretty hacky)
Contrary Windows 2k3 manages to open up the startbutton while the mouse cursor does not move a single pixel even, although the user actually left-clicked outside the buttons area. (more elegant)
Is it possible to mimic the 2k3 way?
