    windows 10 context menus have huge padding


    The new W10 insider build context menus have huge paddings.
    In the netbook, the taskbar context menu almost cover the entire height of the screen and the start menu context menu overflows and shows arrows to scroll.

    Is there a way to make them more compact like in RTM

    :)

    Agitated with context menus

    I am very displeased with the context menus in Windows 10 ever since Build 10240. There is no consistency among them. The one for the desktop looks different than the one for the taskbar. The desktop has a "light" themed context menu and the taskbar has
    a "dark" themed one. All the context menus need to match.

    I read that BS in the Insider Hub about why it is the way it is and it's so stupid. Here is an example, "Some Windows surfaces (e.g. file explorer) prefer light menus for a continuous experience while others opt for darker menus to maintain continuity."
    They say that as if it's actually alive.

    I have a small screen (1024x600) and when I right-click on the taskbar, the context menus are HUGE! When I right-click on the Start icon, I have to scroll down just to get to the "Shut down or sign out" option. They're supposed to make it simpler to use,
    not add more steps.

    This is really bothersome to me. It's like an itch that cannot be scratched, it annoys me to no end. Didn't even know I had OCD until I saw this disaster with the context menus. I wonder if anyone else is peeved at this?

    windows 10 context menus have huge padding

    I have this problem too. The reason why I don't like OS's after XP is their huge context menu.

    They look so ugly and what is worse, there is totally unnecessary space on menus.
    To be things even worse, they killed Classic Theme. I used Classic Theme on Windows 7 just because of ugly menus of Aero Theme and other themes.
    I hope some day ClassicShell will make compact menus like XP or Classic Theme.

    Create a .reg file and double click to merge into the registry, signout or restart explorer:
    Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\FlightedFeatures] "ImmersiveContextMenu"=dword:00000000[/quote]
