Help with start menu

On the bluecurve skin with stylexp you can do this. Here is a picture to see what I mean. http://users.skynet.be/bk265512/BlueCurve/Screenshots/BlueCurveSS.jpg

Yes,with SS you could use content margins or limit the size of the panel.I did the opposite on my last skin update.No icons just letters.

Great thanks, i'm not much of a pro with ss, so can you explain how to do this? Thanks

open the skin you want edit in SS.click on the section of the start menu you want to change and look at the list of options to the right.One will be content margins and there will be one for panel size.make your changes and click the icon on the toolbar to reapply the skin and see what happened .Or click the refresh image icon just above the main image for a quick preview.

I hate to sound like an idiot, but I still can't figure it out. No matter what I change it still doesn't make the text disappear and it stays the same size. Over on the right I click Margins and the menu gets bigger, I see Margin-Top, Margin-Bottom, etc. Tile edge-top, Tile Edge-bottom, etc. Smart small margins, minimum x value for text, content margin-top, content margin-bottom, etc. Which one am I supposed to change?....and do I need to make it bigger or smaller? Thanks

Can somebody explain this to me...if you can, try to make it as easy as possible to explain. Thanks

If you make the content margins large enough,items and text get pushed off the image. I think for panel size itself the graphic size has to match the numbers you put in.

It works...sorta. I changed the margins, and now it doesn't show any of the word...except for the first letter. And no matter how much I raise the number the first letter still stays there. Do you know of any way I could fix this? Also, I want to move the logoff, turnoff computer over to the left, I still want to keep the words and icon, I just want to move it over so it fits. Any ideas? Thanks.

Thanks for all the help so far brainiac. I really appreciate it. I've almost got it figured out, except for the logoff/shutdown buttons. I realized if I made the left margin on the places list bigger too, it would move the icons over and not show any of the word.

Not sure if it's possible but, did you try renaming it and leaving it blank?
