Changing size of start menu icons.
Saturday, January 26, 2008 by japongt | Discussion: OS Customization
Does anybody know how can I change the size of the start menu icons?
For example:
The icons in the red square (right side) are significantly smaller then the ones on the right side. What I would like to do is to even out both sides by making the right side icons larger.
I couldn't do it from the Taskbar and Star Menu properties or display settings, anyone knows?

Are you using IconPackager? If so, open IP config, Settings, Windows Settings select use large icons or set icon size to what you want.
This is for programs side only, setting use large in IP does both sides.
Click on the taskbar or start menue, select properties, select start menu and customize, select large icons.

Canvan1, I just did what you told me, but by selecting large icons, icons become 48px, which is too big. I want them at 32 and that's the setting I've always had. I don't understand is why the left side is 32px (how I want it) but the right side is smaller which makes it look weird and that's what I want to change.

Open IP config, check use large, apply, after it changes uncheck use large, size should then by itself change to 32, apply. I run at use large, I justed unchecked it and applied, both sides of my start menu are at 32ish. The programs side icons will always be a bit bigger, taking a closer look comparing my start menu at 32 to your screenshot, yours look about right.
