Resize items on favorites menu panel?

[Hoser Rob]

Running mint 16 MATE. When I bring up the favorites window on the Mate menu/start (or whatever you call it) button on the left of the main panel, the items are much bigger then necessary. And I can't see any way to resize them.

I actually use KDE mostly but MATE runs better on my netbook, and I guess I'm used to being able to configure everything ... though that can get annoying too ...

RIght-click on Menu, and choose Preferences. You can adjust the size of the icons to smaller or larger.

Thanks. Excellent.

I sound like an absolute noob asking such questions but as I said I'm mostly a KDE user, and there just about everything is configurable and it's generally in one place.

I'm liking Mate quite a bit on this netbook, though when I first tried it a year or so ago it wasn't nearly as fast. This is much, much better. It doesn't use much more system resources than xfce does and xfce is a bit short on features, which can really slow you down too.
