Scrolling Menus

[louies0623]

The system menu will be a little bit different on the small screen, but I have an idea as shown in the picture.

helloSystem is for desktop computers, so I'd consider 800x600 a system requirement, maybe 640x480 if you are reall desparate, but no less.

Apart from the fact that my screen is too small, the main point is that the menus of some software are sometimes very long and need to be scrolled on the top menu.

[probonopd]

Well, that is not an issue with screens of the recommended size. For desktops, I would say FullHD is the minimum standard nowadays.

The resolution of this machine is1024x600,
But sometimes the menu is too full to show only half.

I want it to support raspberry pi screen, as shown in the picture.

[louies0623]

Maybe one day someone will use HelloSystem to install this installation for developing BSD software.

[probonopd]

You mean: The Raspberry Pi screen as an additional screen, in addition to a big one?

[louies0623]

Right.

[probonopd]

That should be doable. Main screen shows the Menu. The small screen could show additional desktop/window.

[louies0623]

But there is one thing, if he does not have a screen to carry, only this 3.5-inch thing, it still needs to work, for example: network line operator.

If I had that screen in addition to a main one, I'd want it as its own display, not part of the desktop. As a solitary portable screen, I'd want a touch interface. YMMV.

I have noticed that if the list is too long as shown in the figure, it can be changed to the following method if possible.

@probonopd I found that the screens in some workplaces are vertical, but the menus of this system are horizontal, and there will be display problems, such as computers in hospitals and recording studios, as shown in the picture.

[probonopd]

Yes. We are aiming at a traditional desktop computer setup with one main screen and possibly additional auxiliary screens.
