Post subject: | Buffer area to the left of the start menu icon |
I've installed CSM on a bunch of windows 2012 machines I administer. To keep the other admin from griping, I've left the default corner hover behavior on even though I hate it. I wish I could make CSM leave a little blank space to the left of its icon. I want this because I often move the mouse too far towards the corner and then I get the start screen popup covering up CSM's icon. If the icon was a bit too the right, then I'd be able to mouse there a bit more easily. This would be an optional setting. |

Moving the button to the right will break Fitt's law for most users so it's a bad idea to leave space to the left of the button ![]() |

It doesn't break Fitt's law if it's an OPTION. Otherwise, countless other options in CSM do, too. ![]() And no, the other ways don't help because I'm trying to have it maintain the original win8 behavior, not have to teach everyone in our office that if they control a machine where I've installed CSM, they need to learn new, non-standard ways of using the OS. I'm trying to wedge CSM into our office in a very unobtrusive way. |

A custom Start button will solve your problem. If you use a wider image, space can be reserved on the left side. Here, I made one for you (attached). See if it works for you. Look in the help if you need to adjust the space more. The button height must be 3 times the width obviously.
