I couldn't see any way to alter the menu size in Enlightenment, no
matter how much I squinted at the tiny menus, though all sorts of other
things are configurable. If you find anything I'd be interested but it
isn't critical. As I say, I was only playing with it just to try it out.
I fire up other WMs from time to time, but Icewm does all I want or
need. It's also easy to configure. I use the menu more than the task
bar.
