 Topic: (Too) wide picture?
Posted: March 23 2007 at 19:47 |
who will pay the bill for the opthometrist? If I change the resolution to 1024 x 768, it's very likely that I'll need glasses in a couple months... so let me know the address so I can send you my bill...

Yes, I agree, it's no fun either to have to zoom out all the time or to use arrows or other hostile tools  . We don't have money to spend on new monitors, you see, because we spend it on hifi-equipment and cd's. 
So please restore the original lay-out.

This layout is completely ok. All you need to do is change your resolution to a bigger one, which I would recommend anyway if you had a screen bigger than 15'' I myself have a 17'' and I use 1152x864 because I make low res games with the AGS and my brother who has 15'' uses even a sharper one, and there really is no sense using a smaller one. I can say, that the layout should not be changed back to what it was only because people like to have DOS/DOS ran computers. If you really do have a '98 or later and a monitor made in the 90's, you'll have no problems showing these forums.

So that's how you do it. Found it myself too. Thanks.

OK, it's possible to resolve the problem of emoticons by maximising the window (thanks!), but this is a minor problem in comparison with the real one (the width of the picture as opposed to the physical width of a screen).

You have to maximize the pop up window with the emoticons to see all of them. Apparently the box size is not defaulted so you initially see only half the emoticons.
|
Can't maximize. |
You don't have a button in the top bar on the right hand side that fits the window to screen? Thats what I meant.
|
It is greyed out. Inactive. |
Thats strange. Can you stretch out the pop up box?
