[Dx4win] Shrinking windows
Hello group, I have a problem that I really cannot figure out how to solve. Each time I start DX4WIN my configured and saved log windows resizes by becoming slightly smaller i e gaps in between each window get larger. The log QSO input window stays put, though. I have been using DX4WIN since middle of 1990'ies. Never had an issue, ever. But this is making me crazy. I have tried all the skins approaches in DX4WIN. No difference. I am in Expert mode of course. Reason is most probably due to my computer upgrade to Windows-7. So, reason is somewhere in the Microsoft land of arts. But where? Is there a way around this forced resizing of DW4WIN windows? Someone out there must have had this too? No other softwares in my computer experiences the same effect. 73 - Bengt SM6FUD __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
[Dx4win] DX4WIN with Win 8
Hello, Would like to ask all the Windows 8 users if they have any issues running DX4WIN with the windows program. Looking to possibly upgrade and purchase a new desktop with Win 8 to replace the old Win XP Pro machine. This will be a DX4WIN program and DX cluster machine only.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN with Win 8
Ron, I've been running DX4WIN on my main ham computer, a new Dell machine running Windows 8, since last spring. I've had no problems with DX4WIN. I run a lot of ham programs on this Win8 computer without any trouble. My only problem was adjusting to Windows 8. I couldn't adjust to the loss of the 'start menu'. So I finally found a good add on program that gave me the start menu function and look back. Not exactly line windows XP or 7, but close enough.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN with Win 8
I have the same issue with Win 8. What program are you using to make it more like XP or 7? Are there any other ways to make Win 8 more useable?

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN with Win 8
I'm running 8.1. Hated the apps style start page, downloaded a Stardock program and put me back to the Win 7 style start menu. 30 day free trial then one time $5. Now I'm very happy camper. Google Stardock and check it out.Mike, WM5DX.

Re: [Dx4win] Shrinking windows
I have exactly the same issue, having migrated to a new PC with Windows 8.1. It's mainly the bandmap window that seems to shrink just enough to cut off the full callsign of the spotter. It takes a second to resize the Window, but it is a little frustrating. I do have the box checked to leave all windows in original position.

The best start menu replacement for Windows 8/8.1 is Classic Shell www.classicshell.net and is free. Properly configured the look/feel is very close to either XP, Vista or Windows 7. 73, ...

This is a known bug with the skins. Under filepreferencesscreen find the box Visual appearance and select No skin selected Not so beautiful but the windows are steady in size... 73 Kostas SV1DPI On 10/12/2014 12:35 πμ, Ian Fugler wrote: I have exactly the same issue, having migrated to a new PC with Windows 8.1.

Re: [Dx4win] Shrinking windows
Thanks, Kostas. I tried that and it is certainly less pleasing on the eye. So, I'll stick with the skins and resize the Bandmap window every so often. 73, Ian G4IIY -Original Message- From: DX4WIN [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Kostas SV1DPI Sent: 09 December 2014 23:46 To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Shrinking windows This is a known bug with the skins.
