I see what you did.  You deleted a size which was named "humongous".   Wish you hadn't as it was great for my eyesight.  Wasn't it a bit assuming to do that with no notification?  Really wish that wasn't done.

I have to agree with nacunis on this one. It is a hard adjustment for me as well. Perhaps an on / off switch (extra slider) for those of us that preferred the the older icon / tile look could be added?

Thank you!!! to Phoenix Rising.  At least you didn't question what I KNEW to be true.

Thank you Neil you have just made my day!!

I am glad you did and the fix is easy enough. I will be sure to direct people here if they feel the same way.

Well Neil, you made my day by just trying.  I apparently added it wrong.  So it isn't working for me but I do appreciate the effort.  I'll just use my alternative start menu which I can see easier.  What a shame that original code couldn't have the non-cosmetic text fixed.   The functionality is critical.

Neil, I apologize for sticking with my belief that there was a humongous parameter.  Maybe my brain is only working as well as my eyes.  You done good.

I agree. I have been playing around with start 11 using this method and am really liking the look a lot. Without caption you get really big icons, but with captions you get slightly bigger icons then before and the captions remain separated unlike in previous versions.

I understand why this is not the default start 11 look. For it to look right every icon pinned needs a custom image attached to it so there is a time commitment there. But for anyone that is ok with a more advanced customization on window's 11 theme, this method could provide some additional support.
