Edit mouse scroll desktop menu

Hi 

I want to know how to edit the menu that shows up when clicking the middle (scroll) mouse button on the desktop?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello and welcome.

That's the Window List Menu. It lists all of the open windows sorted by workspace. All of it's configuration settings are located at Settings Manager > Desktop > Menus tab > Window List Menu section.

How exactly do you want to change it? What are you looking to accomplish?

Hi ToZ, thanks for the quick reply!

I am actually trying to configure beyond the menus option under Desktop settings.  I want to remove the "+Add Workspace" "- Remove Workspace" items.  How can I do that?  Do I have to change source code?

Uncheck the "Show add and remove workspace options in list" option.

I cannot see that option, I only have the "Show workspace names in list" option.

I am running version 4.10.1

I am running version 4.10.1

The option was added in version 4.11.2 as a result of this bug report.
