ACOS Menu

The ACOS Menu is a central launching point for computer programs and user specific service access. It is a part of the UI located on the left of the Top Bar.



Items
The Menu is a panel activated by clicking the ACOS Menu Button located in the top left corner of the screen. It contains various Groups into which actions and applications available in the current machine are assigned. Default Groups include: More groups can be added by third party applications. Apart from these groups, the Menu has also "Hidden Groups", that are only shown when the Menu enters the Scroll Mode. Default hidden Groups are:
 * Social
 * Group unifying Social actions and user information
 * Apps
 * Shows installed programs
 * Places
 * List of mounted devices, bookmarked and last used file sharing applications and directories
 * Network
 * A Group showing network information about the traffic and stability of both Rednet and HTTP access, hidden by default
 * Disk usage
 * Shows the disk usage of the current machine, Neon Cloud (if connected) and connected peripherals, hidden by default

Behaviour
ACOS Menu has a plenty of controls for rearranging the Groups, opening and closing applications, or showing and hiding the Menu. These include:

The blue panel
Located on the left, the panel is a control for changing the mode of the Menu (Static/Scroll) and closing the Menu.
 * When clicked with the middle mouse button, the Menu enters or exits the Scroll Mode, depending on which mode it is in currently
 * When dragged to the right (at least 2 pixels), the Panel continues the movement and "deletes" the pixels of the Menu behind itself, closing the Menu when reaching it's right border
 * When dragged up or down:
 * When the Scroll Mode is active, the content of the Menu is scrolled
 * When the Static Mode is active, the Menu enters the Scroll Mode
 * When rolled over by the mouse wheel while the Scroll Mode is active, the content of the Menu is scrolled

Modes
The Menu can enter two different behaviour modes:

Static Mode
The Static Mode is the default one, when the Menu is opened, the Static mode is always active, regardless of what mode the Menu was in when last closed.

Scroll Mode
The Scroll Mode is an expanded state of the Menu, in which more content is shown and it can be scrolled up or down. When the Menu enters the Scroll Mode, Hidden Groups are shown and normal Groups get expanded.
