Hi Emmitt

This sure makes it hard to developed a vertical app.

What if a user needs Large fonts to see the screen? 
Or if a user just loves their color settings in Windows?

So, it is worth my time trying to make a great looking program
on my computer when their Windows settings can make it 
look bad or unusable?

Maybe if we had a setting on all form objects "Ignore Windows"

The more I work with Windows the less I like it....Long Live DOS <go>

Thanks Marc

  Marc,

   

  I had similar issues when trying to use a Windows font size setting other 
than standard.  I don't know if the issue is with Windows or with R:BASE (DUH!  
What WAS I thinking???), but I'd recommend you stay with the standard font size 
in Windows.

  Subject: [RBASE-L] - Windows Large font size and Forms

   

  Hi

   

  I have a form with several buttons across the top of the page

  and an enhanced tab control below.  Everything works great

  then today playing around with Windows settings I changed

  to large font size and when you view this form in Design mode

  it looks fine but when you do Edit using Form I can't see the

  buttons at the top and the form gets wider and I can't see my

  Exit button I made.

   

  Is there a way to stop Windows from messing up the forms?  

   

  Also, different color settings in Windows can make some things in 

  the forms hard to read.

   

   

  Thanks

  Marc
