Bug: Full preview not displayed in WB Config tool on Vista 64 1650x1050

June 30, 2009 7:12:05 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I have Vista 64, an ATI Radeon 4800 and a display of 1650x1050. When I launch the config tool, the preview of the selected skin is chopped of on the right. And, of course, I can't resize the window. This happens for me in WB 6.4 and the latest beta.

This sort of thing has happened bofore to folks.  Have you changed the DPI that you are running at?  You might want to check it, i believe 96 is normal.

Bingo.  If you're seeing that the wbconfig UI is cut off, it's usually DPI settings.

I have them set to 120. It's still a bug.

Standard DPI is 96.
Try using that setting.

That will be the issue.  If you set it to the standard 96 as Snowman suggests it should show correctly.  You can then use the WindowBlinds font settings to change font sizes if need be.

So I tried changing the fonts size in the recommended manner. At 1st glance, it would appear to give you a more granular control of the font size. In reality, it works very poorly.  For example, I increased the font size 1 notch bigger. When I click the Start button, the text that appears on that menu is quite large; slightly larger than I would prefer, in fact. However, if I click All Programs, the text that appears is unchanged. And I have to squint while typing this because the text appears quite small to me.
