What is Tearoff menu?
A tear-off menu is a menu that a user can detach from the menu bar by pressing the mouse button while the cursor is over the menu title and dragging beyond the menu’s edge. These menus are usually called palettes. Palettes can also be part of a standard document window.
How to order items in the context menu?
Put important things near to the starting point. Like on the example: if you click on the item, your cursor is on the item, the context menu will open below it. The first important action is to play it or add it to a playlist, near to the current cursor position.
Definition: A contextual menu is a type of menu that appears on demand and contains a small set of relevant actions related to a control, an area of the interface, a piece of data in the application, or a view of the application.
The menu that appears when you click on a shortcut, an icon, or an element of the Windows interface is called the context menu. It’s called this because the options you see contained within this menu are contextual and not always the same.
Are there too many items in the context menu?
Don’t include too many items. Many of the options on a Windows context menu are rarely used by most users. If there are options that would be less used, but then under a “More commands”item or other menu. I wouldn’t use radial if it’s a desktop app.
