Hi, Don't take this too seriously - 7 inch800x480 screens are unlikely to be a common any time soon... <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Nov 4, 2009 at 4:34 PM, Robby Findler <<a href="mailto:robby@eecs.northwestern.edu" target="_blank">robby@eecs.northwestern.edu</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div>On Wed, Nov 4, 2009 at 10:24 AM, Stephen De Gabrielle <<a href="mailto:stephen.degabrielle@acm.org" target="_blank">stephen.degabrielle@acm.org</a>> wrote: > I have a small screen too- I sometimes change the font and font-size > too. The worst thing is the file and function dropdown menus, </div>If you put your toolbar on the right (or left) they go away. Does that help? (In the view menu). </blockquote><div> Good tip for a bit of extra vertical space -thanks Though I wasn't clear - I meant the File (as is File, Edit View Language Scheme, Insert Help) Menu goes off screen - it should scroll - but doesn't. I believe that is a gnome problem -rather than a drscheme problem, though MS Word has less items in its menus. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div> > along > with the preferences dialog window which is just too big for the > screen. </div>I did some work to make this smaller; is there just one or two panels that are too big, by chance? If you could send a screenshot of the big ones, I might see something easy to change. </blockquote><div> there is a empty panel at the top in mine that doesn't help -see attached Thanks for taking the time to look at this, but I wouldn't worry about it too much (unless DrScheme is ported to mobile phones), and I can't imagine jedit or bluej or eclipse doing any better.
