Slideout on the main menu

[jghanisco]

I remember when I was tweaking the vertical style on the main menu a few years ago, there were directions on how to change the font size and the number of items in the main menu. My searches have been fruitless in finding this information, so I ask now... I like the slideout style, but the font size is too small on some of our devices. How could I make the font size larger and also change the spacing so that it makes it easier to read?

In Skin\Default\Menu edit the SlideOut.xml file

at the top find the fonts part & add "<Font name="Title3" color="#d6ebff" size="13" typeFace="DroidSans"/> " to it, the size in there is what sets the size displayed in the list

something like this
<Fonts>
<Font name="Default" color="Black" size="13" />
<Font name="MenuItems" color="White" typeFace="Calibri" style="bold" size="25" />
<Font name="Title3" color="#d6ebff" size="16" typeFace="DroidSans"/>
</Fonts>


for MenuBottonNormal you will have " <Element name="MenuButtonNormal" location="1,7" size="26,6" buttonOffset="6">"

you need to add visibleButtons="12" to it (to change the number displayed) & (alter the buttonOffset for the spacing)

something like this
<Element name="MenuButtonNormal" location="0,15.95" size="30,6" visibleButtons="10" buttonOffset="7.9">
