[Start Panel] Getting rid of UserPicture for good?!

[K-Johnson]

Hi,

I have noticed that the UserPicture in the Start Panel can be disabled, yet that area, although nothing is displayed, still hides whatever is within the UserPicture's bounds.

Here is a picture with the UserPicture disabled, with PLACELIST's contentmargins top value at -15 to bring the right hand side menu's up to fill the gap.



Notice how part of it disappears?  It's being clipped by the removed/disabled UserPicture (AFAIK).

Is there a way to fill that gap w/o enabling the UserPicture?  It looks like crap when it's disabled, and shortening the image myself brings an ugly gap between the taskbar and start menu panel.

Thanks for reading!

Change the DEFAULTPANESIZE:RECT  to '0, 0, 0, 0' of either:
Start > StartMenu > Panels > Aero > Bottom > UserPane
Start > StartMenu > Panels > Basic > UserPane

Oh, I gotta try that out.  Thanks for the help

Hmm, I couldn't get it to work out

Nevermind, I got it working.  Just apply the 34px Userpane stylehack and work from there.  Thanks again, satukoro!

Glad it helped.
