Press TEXTFILE> then find the one you want to edit in this case NORMALDEFAULT_INI, then press it until you see 1033 then Action>Save as binary source, save it as a TEXT.INI file, open it search for [start::button] and you should find it.

Didn't you see Game's post Ely?

That won't be a risk as long as he is the one who opens the thread (if you think about it, it is the same as this thread).

Yes, of course. If em3 is the "moderator" of the thread there's no problem.

May somebody help, please? :)

In StyleBuilder, click the start button, then change the "Right" value in ContentMargins. Smaller size will make the button smaller, and the other way around :)

You won't see the diference in StyleBuilder, you'll need to apply the theme to test.

Hey yeah I saw it now Im stuck in the middle I have got it done but now How do I replace the original .TEXT.INI with new one I modified and saved?

ResHacker is asking me for the following before allowing me to replace it:

Resouce Type

Resourse Name

and Resource Language

Thanks for helping guys.

Thank you DoS, I forgot to mention that I use ResEdit...

Found this in NormalBlackC.ini... Could this be what I'm searching for? :o

[Start::Button]
BgType = ImageFile
ContentMargins = -65, 106, 0, 0
FillColorHint = 74 153 73
Font = Arial, 1
ImageCount = 3
ImageFile = BlackC\StartButton.bmp
ImageLayout = Vertical
SizingMargins = 0, 0, 0, 0
SizingType = TrueSize
TextColor = 255 255 255
Textshadowcolor = 69 76 16
TEXTSHADOWOFFSET = 2, 2
TextShadowType = continuous
Transparent = True

Ok as Resource Type I just entered "INI" then as Resouce Name I entered: TEXT.INI and it allowed me to leave the Language field empty, Then I clicked on REPLACE and saved the resource, however after unloading reloading the theme the start menu size is still the same?

EDIT: Ok I'm just not being able to save the TEXT.INI file with ResourceHacker after modifying it , How exactly am I supposed to replace the modified TEXT.INI?

Ok thanks, I had also managed to get it saved with another program called ResEdit by TGTsoft however It indeed saved the changes but somehow the start menu is still cut out. I think there's some other string that still needs to be modifed.

Any other help would be appreciated.

Thanks Mad_Griffith and all the others who tried to help me, I got it, I was modifing NORMALDEFAULT_INI but since Im using the Compact option what I actually had to modify was NORMALDEFAULTC_INI its all fine now.

So you finnaly got my alt start to show correctly?

Getting better and better! But I used to like the minimize/maximize/close buttons more. If you really had to change it maybe you should make a button that cover the whole corner of the window, like in the Longhorn/Vista style! I think that would be nice! I know that you can't please everyone, but you could put lots of sub-styles, couldn't you? :) Hehe sorry I know I'm being annoying....

Thanks!

    • JetBrains is working to cut false positives in RustRover 2026.2 by David Uzondu Recently, JetBrains released the fifth EAP build of its dedicated IDE, RustRover 2026.2, bringing improvements like a Run gutter icon for criterion_main! macro benchmarking and a feature that alerts you when there are unused traits in your current scope. Now, the company is out with a blog post addressing one of the "most common" complaints from users: false positives. In RustRover, a false positive occurs when the editor incorrectly highlights something as an error even though the project compiles and runs successfully. This mismatch flags a gap between the IDE's internal intelligence and the actual compiler. When the editor flashes red warnings over perfectly valid code, developers lose trust in the tool, which stalls momentum. Traditionally, RustRover runs cargo check to detect compiler errors and warnings, but it also relies on its own code analysis engine to power real-time features. To provide quick feedback, this engine parses your source code into a syntax tree while inferring types and resolving names as you type. Because this engine must work on broken, half-written code and react instantly, its logic sometimes diverges from the compiler's, producing false positives that do not exist in the compiler's eyes. JetBrains said that it has a "dedicated task force" focused specifically on identifying and fixing false positives by analyzing user reports and examining large-scale open-source projects. To speed up this process, the team built an internal system modeled after Crater, the famous Rust project that compiles and runs tests for every single crate published on crates.io. This automated pipeline compares the diagnostics from RustRover's analysis with actual compiler output to catch discrepancies before they reach users, ensuring smoother workflows. RustRover, for those who're unaware, is a dedicated IDE designed specifically for Rust developers. It's been around for a couple of years now, providing features like built-in debugging via LLDB, seamless cargo integration, advanced macro expansion, and HTML support. JetBrains distributes the app under two licensing models: a paid commercial subscription and a free option for non-commercial use.
    • Last year I bought the 2TB variant for $114 on Amazon. That's crazy that the 1TB is now 67% more expensive for half the storage, even with the newer T9 already on the market. And that's considered a good deal.
    • You can disable all non needed features from Brave. There is also Brave Origin which removes them entirely and it is free for Linux.
    • I wish I could use Brave but the tab suspension feature is horrible. It doesn't suspend them like Edge does. Even after 2h open with 70+ tabs (same as Edge), it has 2GB more consumption than Edge for no reason.
