Classic Shell: Forum

Hello Ivo,

Thank you so much for the new version. Great work as usual.


I use the the Classic Look Theme on Windows 7.
1) Is it possible to control the vertical space between menu-items without enlarging the font size?
2) Can I enlarge the space between a menu-item's icon and its text?
3) I'd also like to add a thin separator between menu-items' icons and their text.

In short: I'd like to import those three attributes from Aero to the Classic Theme.

I'd be grateful for your help.

I believe the size of the menu items (for regular menus, not the Classic Shell start menu) depend only on the font size and the icon size. There is nothing Classic Shell can do to affect the menus in other programs.

@Yaron, are your questions related to the Start Menu's "Classic skin" or are they about the Classic Theme of Windows 7? As Ivo said, menus in other apps are beyond Classic Shell's control.

Hello Ivo and GauravK,

Thank you for replying. I really appreciate it.

I assumed my questions were not directly related to Classic Shell; - I counted on your vast knowledge and kind attitude, and allowed myself to post them here.

If anyone could shed some light on this issue (and the following discussion), I'd be grateful.

Best regards.
