  • Custom Xtrn Menu?

    From Drillsar@VERT/GALAXY to All on Wednesday, April 15, 2026 22:51:57
    I am trying to make a default menu custom when you click on external programs. I read custom menu on wiki page. The default is I am guessing xtrn_sec.js. Is it possible to make a custom main menu? IF so how is this done? Thanks

    If you by "main menu" you mean the external program sections menu, the optional display file (that you would create) would be text/menu/xtrn_sec.*, see
    https://wiki.synchro.net/custom:menu_files for details.

    Well, that doesn't really make sense since default.js is the default menu. xtrn_sec.js is the menu that controls all of the external programs. It can be customized somewhat without actually changing the program itself. What are you trying to achieve?

    default.js is a command shell, and is not what I'd refer to as a menu.. A menu is what is displayed to the user with a number of options, and a command shell has multiple menus - For instance, the main/message menu, file menu, chat menu, and so on.
