Width of the menu title

Width of the menu title

Postby driessen » Mon Sep 14, 2015 6:58 am

Hello,

Is there a possibility to influence the width of the title of a menu in th menu-bar? Can we define the length of the blanc space in front and at the back of the name?

Thanks.

Michel
I do not understand your question
It refers to the width occupied each MENUITEM?

Michel,

Have you tried to add spaces before and after the menuitem text ?

Antonio,
Cristobal,

I'm going to give you 3 examples :

1. Screen is set to 100 % (= 96 DPI). Everything is fine :

2. Screen is set to 125 % (= 120 DPI). Look how wide the menutitles are.

3. Look how the menutitles are disappearing if I go over them with my mouse from right to left. The titles appear again if I go over them from left to right :

Antonio, I don't want to add spaces to the titles. I want the titles to be smaller in 120 DPI.

Thanks, guys.

Michel,
Which font you're using in the initial creation of the menu?

Cristobal,

No specific font is defined for my menu's.
So, the font defined in Windows is used, I presume.
