Re: Narrow display

This Breaking News... I asked Jerry "redg8r" about the screen flipping size and we're right, there was a change made on TU. Here's the answer I got...

Hi Bruce,
I tweaked the display to accommodate users with smaller screen ratios, particularly those using an 800x600 display.
I agree it seems a little bunched up & might change it back, but for those with a 1000 pixel or smaller resolution, they will have to "scroll right" to see the entire page.


Hope that makes sense, I just saw the thread where the guys were having trouble, if you want to copy me on this, feel free.

Thank you,
Jerry "redg8r"

You could change your monitor setting, I won't tell anyone. Haa-ha

Please tell me your pulling my leg... You already changed your screen setting to 800 x 600 and it flopped back to the old settings or you changed them back to the old settings. I'm beginning to wounder if your computer is possessed by the "dark side".

Re: Narrow display

NOOO! I just tried it. The icons were like saucers, it scared me, so I changed it back.

All you guys still using 600x800, you are really missing out.

Re: Narrow display

I didn't say I was using 800 x 600, I asked if you were. I like what I get with 1280 x 1024, 19" display, but we were dealing with your "narrow screen" issues, remember. So, you decided to return to the better screen res with screen bounce rather than the 800 x 600 display default set by Jerry "redg8r".

Re: Narrow display

I'm using the full 1440 x 900 on my laptop because I use it for Catia V5 design work. This gives me more space for the drawing, as there are a gizillion icons around the edge. I don't want to be changing screen sizes all the time, so I'll live with it. It's really not a big deal, I just wanted to know why and was there a problem with my setup. I think I'm just subconciously looking for an excuse to buy a new laptop. The ashtrays are full on this one!
