I changed the view in my menus to thumbnails. I didn't like it too much, so I switched it off and changed them back to small icons.

I can still switch the size of the icons. However the icons are still arranged "thumbnail" style, meaning that the menu is no longer vertical...they are in 3 columns. There is no way to switch back to the non-thumbnail view unless you recreate the menu, even if the thumbnail option is unchecked.

After switching to thumbnail view and back to small icons, the 'menu style' is changed to 'Icons with text'. You probably want to set this back to 'Text menu'...

Right-click somewhere in the menu and locate TLB's View submenu, there's everything you need...
You can also change the number of columns, and it will look great combined with 'Multicolumn text menu'

I found another bug though Smile
If you set a folder to thumbnail view, the files are in TLB's menu skin (which is correct), but the subfolders are using the default Windows skin... This might only be visible if you use a dark Windows skin and light TLB skin, or vice versa...

Example screenshot
In the large 2-column menu, the dark area's are folders, the light area's are files.

That did the trick perfectly, thanks Dracula. I had to update to the beta to get the view option.

I changed it back, but now my tooltips are huge! Did I do something wrong again??

That's just a cool new feature in the beta version. Check TLB Settings --> Tips and customize it...

* Style XP skin: Community (colour scheme: Cupric)
* TLB skin: ChaNinja

I tried it on another system (using different skins), but the folders are properly skinned in the TLB skin, so I couldn't reproduce it there either ???

Some more screenshots with v2.2.0.16:

This time it's the control panel (virtual folder) with these settings

TLB skinned highlight, normal item
Windows skinned highlight, folder (or expandable) item
