Title: [✓][BUG] Menu icons & text appear offset
Post by: manic23 on July 25, 2026, 04:11:34 PM
Only a very minor thing, but worth mentioning I think. The menu items have the function keys cut off slightly, too close to the rightr hand edge. Yes I know I have OCD!

may just be me, I'm on 3.2 with latest java run time installed.

No worries, thanks for reporting. I can't replicate this on my system, even if I change the screen res and/or scale, the menu icons and text appear like this:

Just in case it could be the issue, please try changing your screen res and/or scale (Windows / Settings / System > Display > Scale & layout). Does this fix the problem?

Are you on Windows 10 or 11?

Is anybody else seeing the issue described in the OP on their system?

OK, so... it turns out that this one is an issue with the latest Java version(s). I updated mine and immediately started seeing the effects reported in the OP.

Since issues with Java are very much out of our control, the best option here is simply to build our own custom menu items for which we can specify the exact layout ourselves. It wouldn't be the first time the Lemmini codebase has resorted to this!

A relatively easy and enjoyable fix, in the end. Here's how the menu looks now, built with the latest Java version:

Fixed in RLPlayer commits 0294a79 and eaa6350.
Updated to Java 26 in RLPlayer commit 1135d54.

Got that error as well for RL 3.2.1. Easy fix, you just need to download Java JDK 26 and install it

Glad to know it's all sorted.

I've posted in the release topic to let users know they need to update to Java 26 - in some cases, this alone won't do it and it's necessary to first uninstall the old Java version. The wonders of Java!

@manic23 - Let me know if the menu icons and text appear correctly for you following this update.

All best.

Thanks for the update WillLem. I must confess I get very confused with all the different versions of Java, why can't they just make one! lol.

Thanks for updating the menus and yes I can confirm that it is now fixed and looks great.

All the best my friend and thanks again.
