The problem is that menu bitmaps normally are 13x13 pixels, whereas icons are 16x16.
Which solution would be the best:
1. Display partial icon.
2. Make icon smaller. It often will be distorted.
3. Use owner-drawn menu items. They will have bigger height than others. Example - Send To submenu. This will be more work for me.
Maybe I'll add a checkbox "Real size icon". If it is unchecked, the icon will be resized. If checked, the menu item will be bigger.
Other problem - icons from exe and dll files are extracted slowly, unless you'll use single dll or icl for all icons. Loading/converting ico files is fast.
