You can write a shell script and use it with PipeRead:
Mouse 1 I N PipeRead "my_iconmenu.sh WindowMenu $[i.x] $[i.y] $[i.width] $[i.height]"
--------------------------- my_iconmenu.sh -----------------------
if [[ $3 -lt 500 ]]; then
echo Menu $1 rectangle "$4"x"$5"+"$2"+"$3" c +100
else
echo Menu $1 rectangle "$4"x"$5"+"$2"+"$3" c -100m
fi
------------------------------------------------------------------
You may wonder why the "icon" context rectangle doesn't work. I'm
not sure yet, but it looks like a bug.
