seifer_seph Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 is there a way to have these as different sizes? when i change my desktop icons, the icons on the right side of the start menu also become huge. is there a way to do this, or make a desktop x icon that is (basically) the recycle bin? it needs to show when it is full or empty. thanks.

chacho Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 for desktop icons right click...properties...appearance...advanced. in the drop-down box, go to icon. change the size in the next box over. for start menu icons right click on start button...properties...customize...check "small icons" in the top box not sure if that answered your question, it was rather confusing. sorry if not.

Bloodwork Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I think WindowFx can do what you are talking about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seifer_seph Posted July 11, 2004 Author Share Posted July 11, 2004 (edited) I think WindowFx can do what you are talking about... yeah that does it,but its only a 30 day trial and takes up memory in the background. i don't think its worth it to buy for that one feature. any other ideas? edit: thanks for the help, but i got it, i just made a desktop x object and was able to configure it like the recycle bin.

Bloodwork Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 30 day trial? Hmm, I thought it was only limited in features.... Oh well I'm out of ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verbose. Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Tuneup Utilities WinStyler does this but it's also trialware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodwork Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I was thinking...even though it is a 30 day trial I don't think it would undo all your changes to the start menu after that 30 days was up would it? I mean, they should be permanent, even after the 30 day trial is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamz Veteran Posted July 12, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 12, 2004 not without 3rd party software. you can use windowsfx, samurize, or avedesk (good app (Y)). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
