Small screen support for Application.

Post by vanepico »

Hi Matt,

I know I may be in the minority, but I run nistune on an antique Asus Eeepc with a max resolution of 1024x600. The problem is the buttons on the toolbar go off the screen after the burn eeprom button, and I think occasionally the mapping windows will actually spawn off the screen.

Can there be a small screen mode, something that makes the icons smaller or in two lines, and ensures all windows open in the display boundary?

There is an option File > Configuration > Misc Settings > 'Hide emulator/WB2' to reduce the amount of buttons

You should be able to fit all the buttons in with this.

We used to have large/smaller buttons but the smaller ones were too tiny (especially on high DPI)

I had the same problem. Unfortunately the hide emulator / WB2 button is not an option for me as I have 2x WB's I want/need to log.

If we had an option to just hide the emulator buttons this would help.

Mine is a Lenovo 8" tablet running Windows 10 Pro.

I was able to fix the problem by changing from the recommended resolution (1920x1200) to 1680x1050.

HTH someone else if they run into this problem :)

If we just drop the emulator buttons, that will still fit the screenshot above, so that is an option
