Whilst I see the screen at this PC at 1650x1024, this is a remote connection to my sever which is running Cumulus - so in reality, it could be anything I use to connect to the server :)

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?

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?

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.

I've just reduced the DPI to 110% normal size and everything seems to fit. Excellent. Thanks Steve.

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.

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%?
