How to add linebreaks in menu? about infi.systray HOT 4 OPEN

This is currently not supported by "infi.systray", but can be achieved by using MENUITEM.fType = MFT_SEPARATOR. I currently don't have time to add this feature properly, but here's a quick-and-dirty patch that adds this capability, by setting an item text to 5 hyphens (-----):

I would love to know this too, does anyone know yet?

Many thanks wiggin,
but as a comparative noob I can't make head nor tail of that.
I know you are busy so maybe somebody else
can work out how to implement this from the above.

If someone could work this into a def I would be forever in their debt, metaphorically :-)

Oky after getting some help from the python forum https://python-forum.io/Thread-Can-anyone-make-sense-of-this?pid=111107#pid111107

I have made the changes and this works beautifully.
Thanks.
