How do you open this menu? Right click does not work.
Weird, I use right click or ctrl-click to open it. It's a standard context menu.
However you can also access this via the menubar
can it be that it doesn't work because the floating menu shows other buttons when i press control?
no, these are not related. Do you have any "normal mouse" triggers configured maybe?
I sent it to you
Extremely happy with floating menus! I was finally able to add some UI to Reminders to make it work better for me.
I added:
- A 4th window button that toggles sidebar visibility (top left)
- A row of buttons like Things 3 to apply actions to tasks (bottom center)
Download: Reminders Floating Menus.bttpreset (54.2 KB)
Feedback:
- Bug - SF Symbols don't center align in their spaces (I don't add text, just the button)
- Request - I would love to have the menu width/height scale automatically to fit its contents.
- Request - Copying and pasting specific properties (like only size properties)
- Improvement - When editing the contents of a floating menu, I have to click back in the hierarchy in BTT to edit the floating menu properties. I would like to be able to click the list title (marked in red, image below) to edit the floating menu properties.
Nice, thanks for sharing!
1: For the SF Symbol bug: could you check whether the icons behave better in v4.102 (building right now, will be available in 10 min)? Most of the icon positioning options have been broken in previous versions.
2. Scaling automatically is a complicated topic, especially because the menus can be resizable and because the content of the menu is scrollable. However I plan to add an algorithm that sets a "suitable" size based on the defined items.
3. You kind of can do that using this checkbox:
I'll add a copy button to every section to make this more accessible.
4. Good idea, I'll check whether I can achieve that easily
@Frank1 I also added some positioning fixes in 4.102, maybe it can help in your case
Thanks, will test that
I updated to v4.102 and tried it, but centering the SF symbol results in this weird look:
Setting the icon position to Left almost-centers it, so that is way off as well.
Very weird, could you post a screenshot of how this menu looks like on your machine?

It should look like this:
It looks exactly like yours. I'll see what is different in my own menu.
Update:
I am so dumb. I missed that I had a "padding left" set to 32px for each icon. Sorry about that!
Perhaps a nice idea to add a feature to toggle visibility of just the properties that the user has changed?
Good idea, I'll think about that!
@Andreas_Hegenberg Your fix has been successful so far. My floating menu above the menu bar is nailed down. This applies to every screen. Perfect, thanks
Strange thing is I have this menu (same name) three times.
Global
App A
App B
Global buttons are displayed in each app, just as expected.
But the app specific buttons for app A are displayed in each app.
And the app specific ones for app B are not displayed at all.
I just can not find the error
edit: if I toggle the floating menu with the action show/hide (shortcut) the buttons appear correctly, but only until I toogle again... then they appear again somehow.... hää?
weird, is it maybe somehow related to modifier keys?
Would you be able to export the preset that contains that menu and send it to me?
Sent and thanks
possibly fixed in 4.106!
Looks good but need to test a little more closely, thanks!
This Symbol Name field is Case sensitive,
Is it normal/necessary?
I input "Brain" with a Capital "B" at first, and kept trying different things to get it to work until I changed it to "brain".
Now I know to use lowercase. I mention this to make things easier for people maybe.
Question
Is it possible to set a separate color for icon hover?
What are these colors 1,2 & 3?
It's not yet possible to add an Icon to a Sub-Menu?
Does anyone know how to create an AppleScript or JavaScript code that capitalizes Entire selected text? I want to use it with a button in a floating menu.
I've tried a few things but nothing worked 100% so far
Thanks!!
