The Bat - how to customize?
dantheman:
I took a look at the Bats' forum today and tried to post a new thread but couldn't find the post new thread button (surfing in Firefox). So here we are!
How does someone make the menu icons smaller? Right-clicking on the menu gives you the Customize option which then offers you an infinite list and i can't see this option anywhere! :o

i remember you can do it, but i can't remember how.. there is a newsgroup for thebat, i'll check it in a bit.
may i make a recommendation though.
i also tend to always look for small icons. however, after using the bat for a couple of years, i've concluded that because you are going to be pushing these constantly, it really does help to have big buttons. you might want to try it for a couple weeks and see if you don't get used to it.. that's my recommendation.

The following worked for me, but YMMV.
Try the following changes. This changes them down to 24x24.
; Buttons=GlyphList32x32
Buttons=GlyphList24x24
; BigIcons=GlyphList32x32
BigIcons=GlyphList24x24
; [GlyphList32x32]
[GlyphList24x24]
; fixup=32,32,0,0
fixup=32,32,5,4

(i posted this just for the record - not planning on using or testing The Bat anymore - Although i may use Outlook and Barca... even online! Thunderbird is just fine for my software needs).

For those of you familiar with the Bat...
Is there somewhere to customize how long you have to be on a message before its status changes from unread to read? Usually, email programs have a way to change how long you actually have to read a message before it becomes read. I want to shorten the time it takes to almost 0, but I can't find the option for it anywhere.
