Classic Shell: Forum

First off thanks to everyone who contributes to this software it's awesome!

This is my current Classic Start Menu:




As you can see there's a lot of empty space under Run...

I'm wondering if it's possible to adjust the spacing or insert a blank separator between the current items such as Downloads and Computer, Computer and Recent Items, Recent Items and Administrative Tools, etc.

Also you can see the start menu's aero color is black so I'm wondering if it's possible to adjust that to clear or completely transparent like my taskbar.

Thanks!

In the Classic style of the menu, you can double click any item on the Customize Start menu tab in settings, and in the Edit Menu Item dialog, make the Command, Link, and Label for an item blank, specify "none" in the icon field (without the quotes). That makes that item unselectable as a blank separator. In the Windows 7 style of the menu, it currently displays "<No text>" if the Label is blank (seems to be a bug). As a workaround, you can specify "none" in the Label field. The item however remains selectable even if shows empty. If confirmed by Ivo (the developer) as a bug, it will be fixed in the next version so making the label empty makes the item non-selectable.

The Start Menu's color does not yet exactly match the taskbar color.

Thank you

Update: In the latest 4.0.2, keeping the label empty makes the item unselectable in Windows 7 style as well.
