Good question Lecrayon, I have been trying to figure that out myself. I have found the windows seems to regulate the size of the progam and places lists sizes (I get into problems there when I use one pic that stretches across the two-they don't always align properly) unless I am missing something, the icon and font sizes are also regulated by windows and I can't see where windowblinds actually checks the sizes or resizes accordingly. If someone else knows more, I too would love to get information on that.

This may seem obvious but tile is similar to repeat as IRS is similar to terrorists.
If you want a big picture, make a pic that has one tile that can be stretched and set the margin for the height and width of the picture and use that one tile to adjust for the various menu sizes

In other words, stretch the heck out of that one tile as ppl on social security do to survive.

You can do that with abstract tiles, but what about photographs? Those are Impossible to tile I have looked to screenshots of startmenu panels and some do look very different than the default. The "all programs" sits in the way. Maybe if you add the same sized area to the placeslist you won't get as much distorted panels.

The more programs has a specific purpose when someone adds a single pic to the Start Menu.

The purpose of the MP area is to add sauce to the goose.

I wish they would add a vertical start button to WB skinning. The horizontal and vertical taskbar doesn't work well with many start buttons.

Who uses a vertical taskbar, Anyhooo?
