Having 4 buttons in a row in MainMenu

Hi,

I am currently looking on how to implement 4 buttons in a row (kind of like
the blue theme, which has three). Anyone can point the parameter to be
changed to allow adding another button? They are small enough to fit but get
spread far too much for the theme to look good.
Thanks.
Florin.

Never mind, I found it and it solved other problems as well:)
Thanks.

Note that the limit on 6 buttons is on purpose.
(from the UI point of view, too many choices
confuses the user, and slows down navigation)

But I actually think on a widescreen monitor
8 buttons - four across - would look better.

Agree on that - thinking between 1 row and 2 rows of 4 buttons. They make
