Compact Menus

What is the difference between regular and compact in WindowBlind themes?
I don't see a difference in the previews.
Thank you

They dont always show the compact in a preview. Its a lot narrower that the full menu. I will only use the compact size. If a blind doesnt have one its easy enough to make one yourself using Skin Studio. Its just a simple matter of changing the user pane margin ( if its 360 - I try 250 )

Its just a matter of preference - some hate compact size.

Thanks for the info and screenshots. Many blinds give the option of a compact menu, but like the one I'm using now (JosephArt) my start menu is still a full menu even though I chose the compact substyle. Am I missing something here?

I'm not sure what is happening on your system, but I just downloaded the JosephsArt WB and the compact substyles (Light and Dark) are compact on mine.

Sometimes that happens to me when I change blinds. Usually rebooting fixes it.

In SkinStudio, once I change the size, how do I save it. What are the steps?
Thanks again, Mary

You can save it as a sub style of the same blind. I like to just separate them. Go up top to " File " Save as : rename your compact - hit " ok " after you save blind when you open WB config its usually not there until you hit the " Rebuild List " then it will be.

Just thought I would post what fixed my "non-compact" compact start menu problems.
I had to go into User Overrides and disable the XP style Taskbar.
Thanks for all your input.
