    Feature suggestion: Add "Options" screen + add icon for it

    Suggestion:
    The place for the options, namely the top left corner system menu, is a bit strange, most similar programs do not use it like that.
    Most programs use a separate Options (or maybe Settings, whichever sounds best) screen.

    So, I suggest for the menu items in the system menu to become like this:
    Restore
    Move
    Size
    Minimize
    Close
    Check for Update...
    Options
    Read Asic Quality
    Launch GPU-Z Instaler
    About...
    (or maybe Always on Top option can also stay)

    Also, optionally I suggest adding a Gear or maybe Wrench icon next to the Camera icon in top right.
    When that Gear or Wrench icon is clicked, for the Options/Settings screen to appear.
    Where we have the Tooltips, Always on Top, Tooltip language and the other options.

    What do you think? Thanks for any comments!

    NOTE: Also, if the Size system menu item as well as the Restore menu item are not needed, they can both be removed. It is not trivial, but there is a way. *Smile When I open setting, there are no menus or options, just the gear icon. :)

    Open settings of Windows 8 App

    Hi Thomas,

    In response to your query, please be informed that Windows 10 is in the list of supported operating system for Modern Reader. Also, the swipe from the right option is for Windows 8 and 8.1 therefore, that step will not open the settings. However, most
    apps have their own settings, therefore, I suggest you to look for a gear icon in the app and check if you are able to find the option you are looking for.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    When I open setting, there are no menus or options, just the gear icon.

    Why I can't open my settings in Windows 10?

    Hi Bea,

    There are three ways to open Windows Settings on Windows 10. These can be done using the gear icon in the Start menu, typing Settings in the Cortana search bar, and scrolling through the Start menu program to letter S.

    When opening the Windows Settings via icon gear, the Start menu closes to open the Windows Settings. If this outcome doesn't occur, we'd like to ask the following
    so we can better assist you:

    • When you said settings button, were you referring to the icon gear in the Start menu?
    • For us to reproduce the concern, have you tried launching it in a different method?
    • To avoid repetition, can you provide us with all the troubleshooting steps that you've done so far?
