If you increase the max menu width, your menus will be as wide as the longest link OR the max size that you set, whichever is SMALLER. To demonstrate my point, refer to the two screenshots below. In the "Before" shot, the max menu width is set to 200. Since there is at least one link that is longer than 200 pixels, the menu is 200 pixels wide, with everything longer cut off. In the "After" shot, max menu width is increased to 1000. The menu is not 1000 pixels wide because there are no links that long. The menu is only as wide as the longest link (and will resize itself dynamically as the menu's contents change). Note that you do not have to adjust this setting for all your menus. It applies to the entire toolbar (though settings change from toolbar to toolbar). Yuri is trying to accomodate everyone who uses his product. Some people (like me) don't want their menus to be too large, so he has included this setting.
