Would it be possible to use a larger icon size?
It seems that SyMenu restricts icons to 16x16, but with the possibility to increase text size it would be nice to be able to use bigger icons.
Ideally, I'd like to use 24 and 32 sizes, and since the .ico format usually includes multiple sizes, I think this would be feasible.

Also, it would be nice if you could increase the width of the icons container in the menu so that the container is a square.

Thanks for the reply.
So you do not use the icons from the exes?

Thanks again smile
My proposal would only apply to the menu icons ([SyMenu]\Icons as I understand) and not to the cache.

Also, yes, I do understand about coding and know vaguely how to tackle this. If you need, I wouldn't mind helping in this smile

Adding a bit more information to this discussion.

The problem only happens if Windows scale isn't 100% and SyMenu uses a larger font size (preview) because the icons don't respect the [SM_CXSMICON x SM_CYSMICON] shell sizes (compare with the System Tray in the preview). Something which I believe would be fixed by simply using ExtractIconEx and using the current ExtractIcon as fallback for when the former returns a null 'phiconSmall'.
However I think that using text size for reference would be better than the SM_CXSMICON, because it would scale nicely with the text.
