Option to use compact menu for Favorites

Post by *yyang »

On Windows 11, the Favorites menu adopts the OS-style paddings that make the menu fat and high, which is inconsistent with the compact style of the History menu and the main menu.

There is a registry tweak to bring back the compact context menu for Windows 11. Is there an option to bring back the compact menu for Favorites? Thanks!

Unfortunately I'm using an actual context menu, so you get its look too.

Thanks for your reply! The problem is, after applying the registry tweak, Win 11 context menus become much thinner as in Win 10, but the Favorites menu is still fat. Is it possible to somehow adapt to the tweak?

Do you see the same for other context menus in Total Commander, e.g. when you right click on a button in the button bar?

Sorry that I made a huge mistake to waste your time. With the registry tweak, a Win11 context menu in Explorer feels as thin as in Win10, but actually it's not. It's just thinner than the original Win11 style, but still fatter than the Win10 version.

This time I've used screenshots of context menus in Explorer and in TC to compare the height of each menu item. The result is TC has automatically adopted the registry tweak's effect, and its context menus use the same amount of paddings as the Explorer context menu. Just not "thin enough".

Sorry again for the previous misinformation.
