A quick and simple way to change the Start Menu size
i think its a bit ridiculous that i have to go to the settings just to resize the start menu,
where as with a window i can just grab a side or corner
and many new users haven't realized that you can change change the size
.
provide a similar resizing method to resizing windows

Yeah, would also be nice if you could just resize it the way you like. Drag the program's area or resize the shortlink area. +1!
just make sure to add a "lock" option
+ 1 good idea.
+1 - and horizontal too.

I agree with this, the start menu size is limited since you can only extend it by adding / removing items.
+1
But for the love of god this shouldnt be implemented the way it is in KDE4. KDE4 is broken beyond repair. It needs to be implemented in a way that would not effect the user experience.
patternjake >> What is "the way it is in KDE4" ?
It has no fixable size, and sometimes it even fills the screen without even adjusting it.
Its that the whole KDE4 seems coherently broken.
Like i said before
If it shows a scrollbar it needs to be sizeable!
;)
+1!
yep, good idea. must live))

It add complexity to the code, and another "loose" area on your desktop. At least I very rarely changes the start menu size, and going into a settings panel is done only after a windows reinstall.
But yet you want a resized part back in explorer.
