In stead of using a "magic number" of 150, it would be better to query the underlying OS directly. Obviously this is not portable, but we have done this under Windows. Querying the width or height of the taskbar, and subtract that from the screens size. But then you can have a multi-monitor system too, so now Screen size and Desktop size differs too... ;-) > // this calculates the best size keeping aspect > CalcResizeKeepAspect(1024, 768, w, h); > height:=max(600, h); > width:=max(800, w); And don't for get the Golden Ratio for window sizes: 1.618 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
