Is there a way to use a submenu as a widget?
I've seen the option in some other skins (Titan being one of them), so hopefully it's do-able, if someone can point me in the right direction

Not currently possible, I'll look into it when I get a chance though.
Update: Looked at Titan's overrides.xml, but don't see how he is doing that...

I got it to work (seems OK so far anyway)
Created a widget as normal, then go back into Select widget, Custom Item, and change to:
$INCLUDE[skinshortcuts-submenu]

Looks like it works in Mimic 3 Jarvis, but not with 5/krypton.
Is there any way to force Mimic 3 to install on Krypton?

Be great if this could be included in the future if it's possible. I've been poking around in other skins to try and figure out how it works with no luck so far.
I'm using Super favorites folders widgets as a workaround for now
Thanks for replies

If you figure out a way to display the submenu items as a widget, let me know and I'll add it.

In that case, I probably won't be implementing submenu widgets. It's not something I would ever use anyway, as submenus are intended to be displayed in the same location as the main menu in Mimic.
