menu bar sizing

menu bar sizing

[Bruce Park]

I'm currently using emacs21 and I've noticed that I can't really shrink the 
default size of the menu bar. After reading the emacs manual, this is what 
is stated:
================================
horizontalSpacing
Horizontal spacing in pixels between items. Default is 3.
verticalSpacing
Vertical spacing in pixels between items. Default is 1
================================

>From what I can see, this only holds true for emacs20 and not emacs21. Does 
anyone know anything about this?

I use settings in my .Xresources file to make menu settings smaller

emacs.menu.attributeHeight: 120
emacs.menu.attributeWidth: normal
emacs.menu.attributeWeight: bold

If your not running under X windows, you can probably do this via
custom or with the following (untested)

(set-face-attribute 'menu nil :height 120 :width 'normal :weight
'bold)
