Kind of torn what to actually use the top ETCL menus for.

"Exit" is a given. "Application (focus)" seems helpful,, "Keyboard" might be handy, "Rotate screen" also nice to have, "Help messages" might be also useful.

I think I will change the "welcome message" to something more useful like screen rotation in the medium term. or someone else can...

There is a known issue where the native keyboard is BEHIND the layer that needs it. Opening the keyboard first actually bypasses this issue.

Bundled an OSD in the form of aosd_cat, also a top menu window decorator concept using ETCL (someone else's work re-used) and two demos so far.

The code to search for the secondary submenus is WAAAAY slow and needs refactoring. Like way slow. Like slow.

Will do some more tests but it's not far from workable.
