I was actually thinking of jokingly posting the screen shot with like "Little Mermaid.Mp4" in the title but that was too much effort lol

OK well I found a discrepancy. Not rally a big issue, but in file explorer, if I'm in a sub folder, the menu pops up just fine after trying to select a new location from up above, but if I'm in "My Device" then the drop down is the normal kind. So I dunno, I guess it's not a big deal, but its still an inconsistency.

I have downloaded and it works great, just a couple of questions.

This downloads 2 programs twice on my Programs Menu under main button. 2 of Close and 2 of Config. Then in listing, there is a 3rd.

Very strange. Close does nothing. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled. Soft reset both times.

Is this correct - bugs me having duplicate programs with one that doesn't function

That is strange. Which file did you install? What you should see is 3 exe's that get installed with it. The first one unloads the finger menu so you have the default menu's in place. The second one is a config file, and it lets you mess with color and stuff as well as unload and load the file. The third one is the file that gets loaded and runs in the background to handle your menus.

Thanks for checking, I downloaded the cab, installed, to Diamond Internal Memory, checked auto start.
Checked File Explorer, it is not loaded in Internal Memory, its in Device.
Checked Programs, had two icons each for Config and Close.
Program works great, but don't want on My Device to save storage. And don't want cluttered Program file.

Hmm. Well, you could just manually drag the files then to recreate shortcuts, in file explorer click and hold the EXE files, then when the menu comes up select copy. Then go to your finger menu folder in your programs folder, delete those shortcuts, and click and hold and select "paste as shortcut." You'll also need to do this in \Windows\StartUp\ so the shortcut there points to the correct location.

I have a black/gray theme on my phone, so I changed the selection color to black with a gray gradient. I thought I'd share it in case anyone is interested and doesn't want to bother changing it themselves. All you have to do is unzip the file (there is a VGA and QVGA version inside), turn off FingerMenu, copy the PNG to program files/fingermenu, and then soft reset. I'm at work and cannot post a screen shot, but I'll try to remember this evening.

I thanked you for the answer, followed your directions, still shows up twice on programs menu, but it does work. I checked remove programs, only listed once, no idea. I just try to keep phone clean when I install, so I know what I did if I don't like it.
Will use it and hopefully it works well.
Thanks again for the help.
