I've just reduced the DPI to 110% normal size and everything seems to fit. Excellent. Thanks Steve.Terry wrote:Ah yes. I've just checked and it's running at 120DPI - 125% normal size. This particular laptop is approx 6 years old and the video adapter and drivers aren't as good as the latest ones. Other screen settings don't always look very good but I'll have a play. Thanks Steve.steve wrote:There must be something slightly non-standard with your settings. The main screen is 990 x 720, but it attempts to resize itself to fit screens less than either 1024 wide or 768 high. I run it on a 1024x768 screen and it fits fine. Do you have a particularly deep task bar, or are you using a screen setting of more than 100% or something like that?Terry wrote:I use 1280 x 800 on a widescreen Dell Inspiron Laptop. The main Cumulus screen is just too big to fit the screen. I do not get the status bar at the bottom. Any way of resizing the Cumulus Control Panel?

Use laptop at 1280 x 800 - NOTE: would be very handy if I could re-size display - currently cannot see "Current" comment box nor status messages at bottom of Cumulus main display.

Re: What screen resolution does your Cumulus PC use?
The Cumulus display normally fits on a screen 800 high (I use it on 1024x768). As in the posts above, I guess you have your DPI set to greater than 100%?smirc wrote:Use laptop at 1280 x 800 - NOTE: would be very handy if I could re-size display - currently cannot see "Current" comment box nor status messages at bottom of Cumulus main display.

Re: What screen resolution does your Cumulus PC use?
Not sure about Vista, I use XP. You should be able to change your DPI settings on your screen resolution. I had the same problem as you and this fixed it. On XP it is under Display Properties - Settings - Advanced. When you find the setting try reducing it by 5% at a time until the Cumulus screen is completely visible. You may have to tweak it slightly to make the text and icons on your screen look right.smirc wrote:Windows Vista Home Professional.

I've voted 'other' - I use Windows 7 with two monitors, both set to 1680x1050. No issues with seeing the Cumulus console on either monitor, or moving it between the two

Re: What screen resolution does your Cumulus PC use?
My weather desktop computer is set at 1024x768 resolution for better viewing (bigger size view).
It would be nice if there was a way to "full screen" Cumulus or provide an interface for showing only current weather data, for such things as monitors dedicated solely to showing current weather data (in the case we don't want to use our weather station's touch display).

Re: What screen resolution does your Cumulus PC use?
There was a discussion a short time back about using a browser to display data full screen. Do a search for "kiosk mode" and you should find it.

Re: What screen resolution does your Cumulus PC use?
I agree it would be a useful addition to Cumulus if it were to cope better with varying screen sizes and allow the display to be configurable; but it would be quite an undertaking.
