I'm having a display problem on one of my systems using the Crystal Clear brickopack.
 
The start menu, on the right side where the rocket ship, magnifying glass, etc... is, does not seem to be "thin" enough, which allows some text to "bleed in" to the display.
 
You can see what I'm talking about here:

I can't seem to find any "display" setting in Windows that will fix this. I've tried large and small icons. I've gone through all the Advanced display settings and made sure they were syncronized across systems. This is only happeneing on 1 of the 3 systems I'm using this on.
 
Anyone have a clue how I might fix this?

That was the setting I couldn't find :)
 
Now, what if I want to use something larger? Simply because this system is hooked up to my TV so you tend to be sitting further back from it than a regular system, so you need things a little larger to keep readability...

You could use the other version of the Crystal Clear theme (which is not compact). It might look better.
 
You can change themes in right-click desktop -> Properties -> Appearance. And it should be there..

I tried that already, wasn't really any better.
 
Oh well. Thanks!

Try downloading some Visual Styles (Maybe compact modes too ;) )
