Hi, Mike -- Correct, that's not a bug, and it won't change unless/until the program is rewritten with a new graphics library.
In fullscreen mode there's no window border, so the 1024x768 display surface can accommodate the 1024x768 client area. When you hit F11 to go back to windowed mode on a machine with a 1024x768 desktop, there's no room for the window border and caption bar that surrounds the client area, so the graphics system has to downsample the client area to fit. Back when the graphics library was written, in an era when 33 MHz processors were still common, it was much faster to downsample by factors of two than to incrementally shrink the image to fit. So you will always get the tiny, cramped display window in cases where you request a resolution in window mode that can't fit on the desktop. -- john, KE5FX > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Naruta AA8K [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 11:13 AM > To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Lady Heather's Fat Client > > > > Wow, nice work John. > > For me, she still has the hiccup when using F11 to restore from > full screen.
