Open my 2 theme in stylebuilder, and copy the 'default panel sizes', when you click on components of the startpanel. You will soon notice that "200,31" is WIDTH = 200 HEIGHT = 32

Ok let's get this over with once and for all.

The first value to change is this one:

Values -> General -> Startpanel -> DefaultPaneSize

This value has the form 0,0,width,height (example 0, 0, 380, 450)

Then there are 4 other values to change, namely:

Values -> General -> Startpanel -> Userpane ->DefaultPaneSize

Values -> General -> Startpanel -> Loggoff-> DefaultPaneSize

Values -> General -> Startpanel -> ProgList->DefaultPaneSize

Values -> General -> Startpanel -> PlacesList ->DefaultPaneSize

All of these are of the form 0,0,width,height.

Now this is where you have to pay attention to. As you see below I have drawn how your startmenu is build up.

The width of red part must be the same as the width of the green + yellow part.

Same goes for the blue part (width blue = width green + width yellow).

Now there is also Values -> General -> Startpanel -> MorePrograms->DefaultPaneSize You have to set this one to the correct values too. Although it sizes automaticly with the ProgList it is smart to set the right values for it.
