Compact menu problem

April 10, 2005 9:12:02 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I have run into a problem that I never had before. I like compact menus better than the standard size, so when I download a skin and it doesn't have a compact menu, I will make one. I usually get everything lined up right. However, with this skin, the Programs button is hanging way off the left side of the start panel. I have tried adjusting size and content margins, but nothing changes. Can someone enlighten me on what I need to do? I have a shot of the compact menu in question, but I don't know how to insert it in here...

Okay, I figured out how to upload the screen shot....It is on my site here, under the About tab. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

After changing the content margins, are you deleting the .wb4 files before applying the changes?

Pallet,
No, I'm not. Am I supposed to? If I am supposed to, this is really stupid, where are the files that I need to delete? I did save this blind with the compact menu and recolor as a separate skin, though, so I wouldn't mess up the original file..

Files are in the same folder as the bitmaps, .uis file etc. *only delete the WB4 files*. When you apply the changes by rightclicking the icon in the system tray and click "reload the current skin", Windowblinds regenerates them with the new "instructions"

Well, I got it fixed! I discovered the original skin had a subfolder with the regular start menu (no WB 4.5 stuff). I used that one, recolored it, and made the compact menu without any problems! I sure am glad that when I tinker with a skin, that I save it to a different folder...saves me from having to download it again if I screw up. Thanks for all your help!
