Someone may correct this because it may or may not be accurate

[StartPanel.MenuItem]
ContentBottom=
ContentLeft=
ContentRight=
ContentTop=

That section is hard to adjust because of the various file lengths. If you notice many featured skins have those margins all wrong.

Also I don't think the programs list is truncated so you might have to rename the shortcuts for length purpose

Are you talking about the actual menu of programs that opens when you hover over "All Programs"? If so, its width is determined by the lentgh of the shortcut names in the menu.

Thought that is what I said. Guess truncated is spelled wrong
