+ +Options menu + + +

The Options menu is a menu list displayed in a pop-up +window. An item is selected by pressing either the left softkey (Select) +or the Selection key. The user must either select an item from the list or +cancel the menu; it cannot be left pending during another action (see Navigating in applications).

+

The pop-up window is located above the Control +pane, and its height is dynamic; the maximum size is approximately +the size of the standard main pane. The content on the screen outside the +menu pop-up is dimmed, except the Control pane.

+

Items in the Options menu use the single item layout; +that is, they are text-only. The number of items in the menu is not limited, +because the list scrolls as necessary. The Options always +loops, which allows users to easily reach the end of the list.
