"All Programs" Button messed up
problems in Polish windowsxp
Saturday, February 18, 2006 by jsawiuk | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I'm using Polish version of WinXP with latest WB5 (although the problem described here also applies to all previous versions). I have found that skins that have the "all programs" button in start menu skinned "push aside" the default caption rather than replace it. Thus, the button looks like this (pictured here with RustyRoosterWB5, though it applies to all skins that have a button for "all programs"):
Is there a solution to this, preferably using free version of SkinStudio, preferably getting rid of the Polish caption (I don't mind having the button in English and the skin looks more consistent with the button)?

By any chance are you using 120 dpi resolution? That tends to distort the start menu, and also most compact menus.

Thanks JourneyMan, that did the trick. 
GoodMorphing: for all I know, dpi is a resolution of physical media, such as printouts, and not on-screen graphics. I'm a photographer not a desginer, so I am thinking in photographic terms, maybe I'm wrong.
