Hello.
Is there a "programs background padding text" that can be put in skin script?
I've noticed the starting point for internal programs pane/box can vary from skin to skin.
It's a puzzle for me to figure out what changes it from small gap to larger gap.
Does not seem to matter if search box is built in, or a search bitmap is used.

A skin I'm working on started out with a narrow gap, now it has a larger gap.
I just want it locked down to one height, so it does not fluctuate any more.

The size of the programs tree is rounded to fit an exact number if items. Depending on the height of the entire menu, there may or may not be a gap at the bottom. That's how it works in the Windows 7 menu as well.
