It was what we chatted about.
Adding menus to each Button on the tray, similar to the Clock menu, but
with things like
"Edit Panel"
"add new Items"

This is interesting for sure!
I am fine to integrate the shutdown menu into the main menu.
I will make a separate theme for this to test it, and send it your way
so you can see if you like it.
As for the social media/web stuff make me a list for the 'About' sub-menu

I have a laptop with a multitouch pad, so I use 3 fingers to 'activate'
that button... but if you have 2 buttons pushing them simultaneously
will do the same thing.

This is a very useful way to copy/paste things BTW.
