how to make large icons on right side of startmenu? (Alienware Theme)

Thursday, October 21, 2004 by Deamaed | Discussion: Stardock Software

I downloaded and installed the Alienware GUI theme manager, but cannot get the right side start menu icons to be as large as the ones they have on their sample pictures. Any suggestions? I can get the left side icons larger though advanced properties...but not the right side.

The icons in the Places list (right side of start panel) are the same size as your desktop and folder icons. To increase the size, open IconPackager > Settings > Icon size.

Yes I am. I don't think any other windows has the "right side" of the start panel.

Yeah... ok, been so long since I've used anything else, I couldn't remember for sure. I don't know why that doesn't work for you, it works on my machine.

Ah, I misread what you said. The alienware theme install does not come with iconpackager. Without that, how woudl one do such a thing?
Either way, I have changed my desktop and folder icons using the "Advanced" setting in display properties, and while the left side of the start panel and the folder icons increase in size, the left side does now.

Right click desktop and click properties, select appearance tab and click effects and check use large/big icon. Otherwise check your settings for the start menu, here you can choose to have large and small icons as well.

Yes, but the large or small icons does not seem to affect the RIGHT side of the start panel icon size, neither the start panel large icon size, or the effects large icon size selection.

In conjunction with my ohter question, does anyone know how, and if it is even possible, to change the size of the icons when you are viewing a folder in List or Detail view? Changing the caption button size did not have anny effect. 

Try to keep it to one thread please

Sorry about that Fuzzy, I didn't know if they should be separate or not.
