Scroll Less, See More Icons

Posted by Brandon Miniman on August 21st, 2008

The Diamond and Touch Pro really don’t take advantage of the high resolution screen in the icon displays in the Start and Settings menu. You can do a quick registry hack to make them look like they do above, where there are 4×5 icons instead of 3×4 (as is the default). This allows you to scroll less and see more.

To do this, use a registry editor:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\
Add New Key “IconConfig”

In there Add DWORD Value:
“HorizontalIconSpacing” Dec value=”112″
“VerticalIconSpacing” Dec value=”115″
“IconTitleFontSize” Dec value=”6″

Thanks to Tony for the tip!
