Pie-Menus in Mozilla

pronik writes "The Optimoz project on MozDev had two main development branches. While the first one, Mouse Gestures have been a success, we had to wait for the second, also very promising one: PieMenus. Now the wait is over! First implementation of PieMenus for Mozilla - RadialContext - is available for installation and testing!!!"

In my mind's eye I see an image of selecting an item from a newfangled animated menu, each time causing a little pie icon to fly across the screen and splat onto the Bill Gates image that appears randomly in the background. We certainly need more features like that in open source software (beats a talking paperclip anyway).

Pie Menu Enhancements

[MyHair]

Now we can finally have tabbed pie menus!

And if there isn't enough room in the pie we can have coencentric choices!

(Remember how tabs started simple and then turned into multi-rowed or side scrolling stupidities?)

I can do this with lynx

[KidSock]

<select name="pie">
<option value="Apple" selected>
<option value="Cherry">
<option value="Blueberry">
</select>

Mmm, blueberry.

I guess they are called "pi" menus, due to their round nature and 3,1415926535...
