Version 1.9.3 - two cosmetic items

Post by daqddyo1 »

I saw these in 1.9.2 as well.
1) In the barometer window at the bottom left of the main screen, the word "pressure" is almost always overwritten/underwritten (?) with an unreadable word.
2) At the bottom of the main window is a one line entry window for a comment. Beneath the left part of that and barely visible, is a 3/4 hidden line of type. [Is this because I am using a netbook with a screen that does not have the normal aspect ratio?]

Neither of these seems to have an effect of the functionality. Nice improvements elsewhere.
The truth is out there.

Yes, both of your issues are due to this. I've tried to make Cumulus work reasonably well on smaller/unusual screens, but it's never going to be perfect.

From the readme.txt:

"Cumulus requires a minimum display size of 1024x768. It will work
on smaller displays, and tries to cope, but the display will be
less than perfect. High DPI settings (greater than 100%) may also
cause problems (some text hidden or 'scrunched up')."

Thank you. Just to clarify for anyone else reading: donations are very gratefully received, but it is not a requirement for getting support on the forum, and there's no need to mention it here. The note in my signature is not a request for payment to anyone in particular, it's a general reminder to anyone reading it.
