Personally I like a BIG window... ;) But I'm well aware that others might want it smaller. Right now I have it using half the available screen width and 3/4 the height.
Do you think the idea of using a percentage of the screen is OK? If so, what percentage do you like? Of if not, what sizes seem right to you? This reminds me that I should make the setup function which sets the window geometry accept percentages... Thanks for the suggestions. I agree that any reactions from others would be useful - my intention is to go for a consensus on what is useful Cheers, Vern Radenski, Atanas wrote: > Thank you, Vern. > > I thought it might be beneficial to make the new window smaller.
