Title: Resizing "Windows" windows
Post by: Simon on January 12, 2006, 23:48

I can't think what they are technically called, but does anyone know of a way to resize 'Windows' windows such as these, to match higher screen resolutions?

I use Windows Maximiser but that is for IE.  Somehow it works for Avant even though it has nothing to do with IE.

I thought it did it automatically, I have never had to alter anything when changing scree resolutions  :?

No, it hasn't done it automatically.  The 'dialogue' boxes are the same size as they were on 800 x 600, only smaller (if you see what I mean), and therefore the text appears to be 'squashed'.  :dunno:
