I would like to change the horizontal spread of menu panes. I follow the decription in cmenu.help (see below) and it does not seem to work. cmenu.PaneSpread: 1.25 Determines the horizontal spread of menu panes. Any value greater than or equal to 0.0 may be used; the value must be specified as a number plus tenths or hundreths (i.e., 1.0 is an appropriate value for cmenu.PaneSpread but 1 is not). A value of 1.0 means that the horizontal and vertical spread will be equivalent. A value less than 1.0 will compress the menu panes inward and a value greater than 1.0 will expand them outward. I placed cmenu.PaneSpread: 3.25 in my .preferences and also in .Xdefaults and none of these works. What am I doing wrong?? I really want to change horizontal spread because the menus are too close together. When you try to select something from one menu card, there is a tendency to jump to another card because you have moved the mouse pointer to that card by accident. thanks for your help, David K.

The current version of the cmenu help file does not lie. Sorry. Gary Keim ATK Group
