Hi,

is there an gtkoption to have a minimum menuentry height, i hate that menuentrys have different sizes?

That's interesting. It looks like your menu item height is set by the size of the icon next to the text, so to make all entries the same height, you could make the icons smaller or the text bigger. But I don't know how! On my desktop menu the icons are smaller, and all entries are the same height.

I 'turned off' the icons in my Xfce menu.

So, I don't have this problem and my right-click Menu responds much quicker.

No body really pays any attention to the icons in the menu anyway ... do we?

This can be caused by one of two things.

The first, is a fixed-size icon theme. Editing your icon theme's index.theme file so all the Type= lines read Type=scalable, will mean the icons will fit the Gtk+ theme.

The other option is to add the following to your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file:

style "theme-menuitem"
{
ythickness=2 #more as needed
}

class "GtkMenuItem" style "theme-menuitem"
widget_class "*MenuItem*" style "theme-menuitem"

The menus without icons are the proper size. The ones with icons are getting stretched out by the fixed-size icons. Make the icons scalable and they'll all shrink down to the base size.

Breaks them how?

What happens if you comment out one window match, then switch? The widget_class "*MenuItem*", one is probably a bit broad.

ok, found a solution i had to set ythickness = 0 again for GtkSeparatorMenuItem
