Those are the default values for all new stacks. They don't represent 
the current size, they are the maximum upper limit. Stacks almost never 
use those figures.

On a Mac, the menubar is the width of the monitor and is always the same 
as any other app, and the toolbar under it just fits the icons. You must 
mean Windows or Linux. You could try setting the maxwidth in the stack 
inspector to whatever you want and see if that works. The size might be 
scripted though.

I never noticed it being too wide. How wide is it on your monitor?
