Some of the recent skins posted on Wincustomize have a problem with their start menu panel... on an XP machine, the left panel is too wide, often leaving alot of open space. Conversely, the right panel is too narrow. The menu items not only look crowded, but some of them are even truncated. This crowding is made even more obvious by the open space in the nearby left panel. In Vista, they can get away with this because they have shortened the names of the menu items, but most of the items in this area in XP are not editable to adjust to the shrunken space.
eg. Whitefire2
Could I implore the skin designers out there to remember to include XP friendly substyles with your skins? Thanks!
