start menu
Thursday, July 29, 2010 by MzGaz | Discussion: Beginners
How do you make a short start menu as I have seen in many screenshots? I've tried editing the skin and saving, but it hasn't change when I re-apply the windowblind.
Thank you, Mary

I think you are correct. I remember having a problem getting my menu shorter..........another reason Vista sux in so many ways!

Yep, you cannot shorten the height of the start menu much in Vista, it will always be taller no matter what. All this time I thought you were talking about Windows 7.

Two desktop icons and a sidebar shutdown gadget would handle what you have left, other than reading the All Programs list which would be a pain so....dumb question time. Why would anyone want a start menu that short?

Sorry about that LightStar.
Wizard, don't really care for having any icons on my desktop except the ones in my sidebar and i like the compact look of a short menu.

I emailed Chasbo and asked him how he did it. He just has to do "properties" on the startmenu. He has W7, I have vista. Must be the difference, darn. I'm still hoping to find a way in SKS to do it. When I was on XP I substyled compact menus (horizontally) all the time, but I guess things change and I have to learn all over again. Thank you everyone for trying to help me out!
