Title: RadarBox toolbars and other screen problems
Post by: IanH on March 31, 2012, 07:03:44 PM
Just getting my head around the AirNav software. So much for the "toolbars" at the top of the screen.

Really just one big block despite cleverly making it look like the movable toolbars seen in Excel. So when I run it on a netbook, I can't hide all the unneeded bits and hence lose a lot of screen.

In fact on a netbook I can't even set it up as I want to since the preferences window is not resizable and hence I can't click on OK to accept the changes.

Looks like "someone's nephew" knocked this up from a quick sketch on the back of a fag packet.

Are there any fixes?

No idea if this will work with RB software, but I have used Resize Enable on windows that are not resizable:

May help see that OK button.

I'll give that a try tomorrow (assuming that no other jobs crop up  ;)).

Also want to try the MMS2 sharing option of my SBS-1e

ResizeEnable didn't work for me.

Searching for alternatives I found the answer - just untick the option "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display".   ::)

That allows a larger resolution to be specified and the screen scrolls to show all of it.

Now fixed my setup problems.
