Start Menu scaling and giant popup menus

October 5, 2025 7:54:40 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I am scaling the start menu to 130.. 150, but every menu in Start11 get the same scaling.

I understand the configuration says Global Scaling, but its very awkward to deal these popupmenus almost bigger than the start menu itself... and also every popup menus in the taskbar are giant too, so I am giving up scaling.
I would like to scale only the start menu
Pls considere separating that config.

 

thank you

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But, you could make the icons bigger and resize the start menu by clicking and dragging it to make it wider and taller You don't really need to change the font scale just to make the Start menu bigger.

I use a condensed font and change the % size to a smaller setting than 100%. This will make the context menus smaller.

Thanks for your suggestions.
First suggestion: resizing makes the icons extremely big or too small... scaling makes everything perfectly how we want.
Second suggestion: Its a ugly workaround (I would like to use my font since we have an option for that)
Makes no sense for me to scale up popup menus.... scaling should be only for the start menu

Context menus are scaled based on the widest link in the menu. In this case "Open menu on this page for current desktop." The only way you are going to get smaller context menus is to use a different font for menus.

Sorry! In fact reducing the font to 80% got much better result.

Thank you!
