Well, it's up more than to show the tweakings to get a correct "french" compact startmenu than anything other

I also began to tweak the sysmtrix, but i think i'll do some more tweakings on it

isn't that the case when it has been a daily shot ? though it must have been a very short day (perhaps in night) because i didn't saw it

Right values for the non english version (well at least in french) users for the "All Programs" button:
In skinstudio in both normal and compact versions locate the "More Programs Panel"\"content Margins" section, and just switch the left margin from -121 to -155
Still for french users (perhaps other languages too) there's also a trouble in the compact menu version with the "Arrêter l'ordinateur" which is cut off. To solve this, you have to do a few things (still with SkinStudio, but u can open the RustyRoosterShort.sss file with a text editor and locate ...)
- in the XP Taskbar\User Pane\size of the user pane section, switch the widght to 253
- in the Programs List\size of the Programs List, swith the widght from 160 to 190
- in the Places List\size of the places list, switch the widght from 160 to 63 (190+63=253 )
- in the bottom bar\size of the bottom bar switch the widght to 253
to finish download this image:

or


and paste it in the RustyRooster folder
then change in "More Programs Panel\Backgrounds\More Programs Panel Background Image" the .tga file by the same name but .bmp one (or ShortStartPanelMoreProgArrow_FR.bmp) and uncheck the "transparent" and "translucent" boxes
Note for all skinners who are giving a compact menu version of their skin and want it to work in other version than english
- It seems that the whole minimum widght off User Pane have to be at least 253 for a well display of "Log Off + Turn Off Computer"
- the repartition size of these 253 pixels are between "Program List" and Places List" widght which is depending on the size of icons used in the Places list and also on how the image is drawned : 63 seem to be the good size if using 48 pixels icons but it should decrease to 60 i think if using 32 pixels icons
Hope it helps
