How to increase the height of the menus ?


Select a higher number of shortcuts in the "Show at least" slider.

This only solves the shortcuts, the menus are not included, there should also be an option for the menus

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But I believe the menu will grow up as you add more items on to your system. Here is what I get on my system.

Thank you.

If you are comfortable making changes to the Registry, this edit will expand the menu to the full height of your monitor. If it includes more items than will fit, it will become scrollable.
Add a new String Value registry key S11_AlwaysScrollMenus which when set to 1 will stop Start11 making menus multi column and instead use a scrolling list.
Create in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\Start8

Before editing the registry, I strongly suggest creating a restore point, and backing up the registry.
Select a higher number of shortcuts in the "Show at least" slider.
It would be nice if this option also affected the menus as it only affects the shortcuts
For me, I prefer the menu to be dynamically adjust itself vertically as the number of the list increase or decrease. If not, you will have One column with very tall list and all spill over items will be listed at the next column at the bottom area. Not very attractive and unbalance looking

Any news on this?
Changing the Windows registry is very complex.
You could put this option as a menu setting.
The best thing would be to be able to resize the height with the mouse along the edges of the menu by resizing it
If I do this, it only shows one column instead of showing more columns, see how StarBlack does it.


This option needs to be fixed because it has a bug.
I just installed the latest version and see the result

Do you have any specific and significant reason to have it as what you mentioned. Personally, I don't see significant advantages over the layout I posted above in reply#3. And, by looking at your screenshot, with that layout you will need to move your mouse further up to reach those top most links/folders.
Thank you,
