Title: Windows 7 Start Menu -- Mapped out. Post by: K-Johnson on September 27, 2009, 09:30:35 am I mapped this out for myself, but maybe someone else will find it useful if you're like me and a bit slow at times :P.
Sorry for the messy look. I just threw this together quickly as I wasn't planning on sharing it originally. Didn't go into the item details, but basically named the Start Menu panel/bases.

Post by: ka-la on September 27, 2009, 09:45:17 am Question : How to change start menu panels width in 7? I change sizing margnis but dont see any changes.
Title: Re: Windows 7 Start Menu -- Mapped out. Post by: K-Johnson on September 27, 2009, 09:56:06 am You change the RECT property, but Win7 Style Builder has a bug that does not allow you to change it, unless:
1. Open up another Vista Style Builder, open a Vista theme (don't import, just open a Vista theme). 2. Make changes to the RECT property in Vista theme, and copy the property and Paste to your Windows 7 theme. If you do that, it will register. Title: Re: Windows 7 Start Menu -- Mapped out. Post by: ka-la on September 27, 2009, 09:57:51 am I need to change that in Win7 theme.
Title: Re: Windows 7 Start Menu -- Mapped out. Post by: K-Johnson on September 27, 2009, 12:19:45 pm Sizing margins doesn't change width. Play with the Rect property. Read my instruction, because Win7 has a bug which can be fixed with Vista theme.

Post by: AlbinoAsian on September 30, 2009, 01:07:56 pm to get it to do what I wanted with the startmenu I had to import elements from another vs that had the sizing I wanted and reskin all my elements for the startmenu again. A bit of a pain but at least it worked out in the end

Title: Re: Windows 7 Start Menu -- Mapped out. Post by: Panda X on March 06, 2010, 06:45:51 am Is that because it is part of explorer? John It's because it's not programmed to do so.Title: Re: Windows 7 Start Menu -- Mapped out. Post by: Vzdorjii on March 07, 2010, 04:51:35 pm Stop WSB.
