Line 2: Line 2:
If your device has no functionality for a menu button, softkey, etc. present a menu... (but Pre gets around with a drag!) Or... make options clear in all cases
Line 4: Line 6:
Yeah... it's a menu. Docked to an edge. Always visible.
Line 6: Line 10:
iPhone style, every menu function is visible in a bar or list to one edge of the screen.

If a revealable menu is available, may also present some key tasks in a Fixed Menu always visible on the screen. Doesn't count any old control on the page, just a set that are grouped and appear in the same place for the application or whole OS.
Line 8: Line 16:
Copy from reveal menu, except for the reveal parts.

"More items" needs to be included.

Can include play controls, so things like photo taking, or photo/video playback often have fixed menus
Line 10: Line 24:
Copy from reveal menu, except for the closed parts.

Note they CAN disappear... but only for full-screen playback types of items. They re-appear on any interaction, not by a deliberate Menu callback, hence do not at that point become reveal menus.
