How to get sub menu in the circular pattern outside the main ring on hover

[Anurag_Kashyap]

I want to achieve similar to what option + has - submenu coming out of a menu from main ring ring and around the menu only in arc ( only slice of pizza) but only when hovered on that menu

currently this is assigned to my action ring:

You can experiment with the new submenu behavior functionality (requires v6.632)

There's weird bug: when action ring executed near edge of screen and hovered for submenu, instead of adjusting once, it start jumping

thanks, I’ll fix that later today!

1. I had turned on close when clicking outside but when I add submenu then hover instead only working when directly over the menu, its work from outside on radii- I want only selecting menu when my cursor directly over them
2. BetterTouchTool crash when open sub menu in floating tab via double click

I improved the behavior of the submenu a bit in v6.334!

why the existing / imported presets keep being deleted on installing the alpha or any update, very weird and frustrating @Andreas_Hegenberg

[Andreas_Hegenberg]

not sure what you mean, in general nothing will ever get deleted if you make sure to use the integrated auto-updater. (using brew or manually downloading alphas can however sometimes lead to issues, always make sure to use the integrated updater - only updates installed via that will follow the correct upgrade / database migration path)

[Anurag_Kashyap]

I just updated by menubar update to alpha and removed all presets! Before that I had reinstalled the alpha via manually downloading

Before that I had reinstalled the alpha via manually downloading

ah unfortunately that is the issue, these builds were not proper, thus not offered via the updater. You could recover by downgrading to the previous build you downloaded manually and exporting your preset (then reimport it into the proper version)

I highly recommend only installing updates that go through the updater - especially for alpha builds.

[Andreas_Hegenberg]

For this specific case (manually downloaded & replaced the problematic 6.633 build) you can solve the issue by running this terminal command:

dir="$HOME/Library/Application Support/BetterTouchTool"
old="btt_data_store.version_6_633_build_202607106"
new="btt_data_store.version_6_635_build_2026071303"

cp -p "$dir/$old"     "$dir/$new" &&
cp -p "$dir/$old-wal" "$dir/$new-wal" &&
cp -p "$dir/$old-shm" "$dir/$new-shm"

And then upgrading to 6.635 either via auto updater or via https://folivora.ai/releases/btt6.635-2026071303.zip

How can I remove the arc fan out background! I can't see any option and it still getting grey color?

setting the pizza slice color for the submenu to opacity 0 should work:

//version 6.639 (uploading) now never draws the background if the pizza slice highlighting is disabled for the menu

[Anurag_Kashyap]

Thank you and "allow hover on whole pizza" is fixed too, only hover only if cursor above menu item

v6.6.38

[Anurag_Kashyap]

Is there a way to increase the gap between submenu item, currently the separation on main dial ring and submenu ring looks weird? @Andreas_Hegenberg
