Changing Main Window Height

Submitted by klogg on September 24, 2008 - 6:06am

Is it possible to change the height of the Main Window?
It's about 400x570 pixels and I have a rather long App-List
that does not fit into it. (without scrolling)
Since my screen/s is/are fairly huge Eye-wink why not increase the height a bit?

Unfortunetly it's not

Unfortunately it's not possible. Nor I don't think John will implement the feature, Think of it this way, You have the windows start menu, You pin a lot of apps to the menu, You can't access much of them as the menu can only enlarge up so high to accommodate for the apps but still some of the apps you pinned can't be accessed.

The Platform was designed for ease of access so that all apps can be accessed by using the scroll function on the mouse or by clicking on the arrows within the app.

probably the day they start producing vaccuum cleaners. (author unknown)

What about reduce?

I'm using Asus EeePC 701. It has 7" display (800x480). So Main menu is larger than my screen, and top of the Menu always is hidden. May be it is possible to add some command or checkbox in "Settings" where we can change the height of the main window (it can be for example "Fit to screen height")? Or, maybe, not in "Setings" but only in "PortableAppsMenu.ini" file?

Soon

In an upcoming release, you'll be able to cut the menu down to show only 10 apps instead of 20, which will save you room. A custom theme to do so will be included directly with the platform.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Great!

Thank you for information!
