Menu madness

[Robert Sneidar]

Yes.

Apparently since Menus are nothing more than a group of buttons in  
Revolution that are hidden, Revolution "compensates" for this by  
changing the height of the card. I personally think this is a bug. I  
would like to be able to set a property that tells Revolution what  
the default height for cards in a stack are, and then I can change  
that on the fly, but alas, that is not how it is now.

To date I have not heard of any real solution except to include code  
in a preopenstack handler that sets the height of the card to what  
you want it to be.

Another idea I have been playing with is to create and implement  
menus "on the fly", that is build your menus when the stack or card  
opens and then set the menu to that group. It's just an idea though.

Also you should consider setting the menu to act as a background so  
you do not have to replicate it.
