Title: [Win7/8] Simple gutterless context menus (keeps icons!)
Post by: douglasbarbosaazevedo on September 24, 2014, 11:36:13 pm
This is my first stylehack (released anyway) so please bare with me.

I was messing around with WSB the other day and came up with this very useful hack for those of us that hate the menu gutters. I call this "simple" because I've only added/modified 4 properties and added/modified no images.

You're welcome. Please let me know if it works on Windows 8/8.1 or not.

I'm downloading Windows 8.1 right now to test. Maybe they have changed how certain properties affect some parts. Either that, or the IDs are wrong. Here is all the hack modifies/adds:

(not sure if double-posting is against the rules here; if so I'm sorry)

I made the switch to Windows 8.1! Since I did, I thought I'd do a Windows 8.1 version of this StyleHack. It's attached in the OP.

not sure if it would work but maybe try making the vertical track larger to compensate for the white area.

Yea, I was just testing anyway, Mark. Don't think I'd personally use it.
