A quick request for the hard working sm programmers and contributers
since I at least partially fall into the "Aged and Vision Impaired"
category.
Ironically, using a large high resolution monitor (mine is a 23" LCD TV
set at 1920x1080) creates a large number of font readability problems,
and, over the years, I have learned how to deal with most of them.
One basic step is to set the display properties/settings/advanced/DPI to
"Large size (120 dpi)" Recently, even this has proven to be
insufficient for my vision, so, I recently set it to a "custom" value of
150DPI.
When I did this SeaMonkey presented me with a serious problem trying to
use the "Mail and Newsgroups Account Settings" screen. This screen has
no "sizing" options and, at the 150DPI setting the window exceeds the
size of the screen.
The default problem is that you cannot get to the "OK, Cancel, Help"
buttons. The only option for me was to select the <M>ove option to move
the bottom edge of the window over to my second monitor.
Then it get's crazy. SM "remembers" the screen position and the next
time this window is opened, it opens with the buttons visible, but the
top of the screen inacessbile. At that point, the only option is to
remember that <Alt-space> brings up the "Move" menu, and <M> then allows
you to drag the window to get to the top fields.
The simple solution would be to assure that _all_ SM windows have scroll
bars and sizing options.
A reduced sized screen shot at

shows how the mail settings window is clipped when openen in the
1920x1080 monitor.
Thanks in advance for any consideration to this problem.
