  I wanted to make some changes to favorite menu icons but ran into a couple issues:
  
  1) I couldn't find the "Manage Icons" menu dialog. It took me a few minutes and some help searches to find that it's under "Tools/Icons." Since its a "Manage Icons" dialog, would that be better as "Tools/Manage Icons" ?
  
  2) I have a lot of favorites (on a really big screen). When I open "Tools/Icons" it shows the icons for *all* items in *all* levels of menus -- and falls off the screen at the bottom. There's no scroll bar in the window, or a way to shrink it from a side (top, left, right; can't get to the bottom), no button navigation (arrows, pg-up/dn, etc.). So I can't get to the lower favorite items that are off-screen.
  
  For working with these, would scroll bars (etc.) be the right approach, or would some sort of hierarchy navigation be better?
  
  [Yes, I know I can change menu icons under *each* favorite. But that defeats the purpose of having the big fancy common Icon dialog :-).  Using QAP 11.3 on a Win10 PC].

  Good point. Noted for a future release.

  This is a known issue on some types of screen. There is a fix for this explained here:

  There could also be another solution. Is your screen HDPI?

  Unfortunately, the development tool used to develop QAP does not allow to design a scrolling dialog box when there are images (the icons) in the rows. Hierarchy navigation could be added.

  Thank you.
  
  Setting that Tools/Menu Icons/Manage icons window rows to other numbers than the default "0" (for max) shortens the "Manage Icons" window to keep it on the screen, displaying all items and, more importantly, the Previous, Next & Close buttons that were previously falling off at the bottom.
  
  Barring that config setting that I didn't know about and am now using, allowing on-screen arrows or up/down arrows or pg-up/dn would have worked.
  
  And yes, my primary monitor is pretty H-DPI: 32" at 4K = 3840x2160. The secondary monitor is a little less at 2560x1440, but the Manage Icons window was also falling off the bottom of the secondary until I changed the above setting. I could have tried rotating the primary but I knew you'd have a better way. Thanks again.

  FYI, the menu labels has been updated in beta release v11.3.0.9.1.
  https://forum.quickaccesspopup.com/showt...p?tid=1562
  
  This will be in the next production release v11.3.1 later.
