Hello All:

Recently discovered this little trick that makes WisBar even better. The only thing that I didn't like about WisBar was that it made my StartMenu seem sluggish. Bringing up the cascading start menu would sometimes take close to a second and drilling down through submenus was also slow to respond. While it wasn't a "deal breaker", it was annoying to me.

I've found a way to fix it though!

Go into WisBar settings-->Start Menu Settings and check "Cache program icons on startup"

You might have to restart WisBar, but you will soon see MUCH snappier response from your start menu. The tradeoff is (I think) you will have to restart WisBar to see any new icons that you add while WisBar is running, but, that is a small price to pay for much improved performance, IMHO.

Hope that helps somone :)
