I am running Classic Shell 4.2.7 Beta but I noticed that the start menu is a bit narrow now when you hit the start button, you know where Computer, Documents, Music, etc are listed on the right hand side of it?

How can I revert it back to the size like before? that looked more natural like an exact replica of the Windows 7 Start menu

What version did you have before? I don't remember any recent changes that would affect the size of the menu.
Can you provide screenshots before and after?

I had the earlier 4.2.5

Today I did a clean install of Windows 10 and installed the latest Classic Shell 4.2.7 but something feels weird, I know my start menu so well

I just imported my old settings XML file again

Unfortunately I cannot provide screenshots before but here is how it looks now:




I have also attached my settings XML file in this post

The width depends only on the text length and the skin padding. The padding in this skin hasn't changed in over a year. Maybe you had longer items before? Maybe you had the "Large font" skin setting checked?

yes that made it look like before although I had never touched that setting before.

Either way, thanks a lot for your prompt reply :)
