[quote who="BoXXi" reply="81" id="2442794"]You need to leave transparent gaps at each end of your seperators so that they don't run into the edge of the start panel.[/quote] Aaah yes thats a great idea why didn't I think of it lol Thanks alot [e digicons]:)[/e]
Thanks for your'e input Karen I did try something in I think title bars and it messed up my start right flyout menu but maybe it wasnt the title bars Im not sure of whats what in those areas.

Here is an example of a compact start menu that Im trying like hell to replicate I've brought the whole thing in PS and created my own same demensions then I checked out the paint margins he had used them and still can't get it small like that. Could it be the separators causing the issue they are the same size images as what there just my version.
Thanks for the tips I'm managing to make a huge mess LOL I did choose the small icons and it didnt help I chose classic view and it caused my panel to vanish replaced with yucko xp I'm still plugging along.
I still can't figure out how to make the start menu smaller top to bottom like I've seen in other skins I tried adjusting the margins but it's still the same. Any ideas appreciated
