Solved [TC 10 b1a] Cut off content in config dialogs

[petermad]

Maybe it is time to make the Configuration dialog a bit bigger. With a clean ini file the bottom of the group boxes in the Layout and the Thumbnail dialogs are now cut off (Windows 7):

Which theme is this? I don't see this problem on Windows 10.

[petermad]

It is Aero theme under Windows 7.

I don't see it under Windows 10, and I don't see it in Dark mode under Windows 7.

I see this in Windows 10 x64 with 4k display, but do not see it with 1080p on another Windows 10 system. Both systems have win 10 x64 Version 20H2 (OS Build 19042.867). TCx64 settings are identical as far as fonts - dialog box font is Microsoft Sans Serif 8 and there is not a DPI setting.

The Configuration is 651x517 pixels on my WIndows 7 (including title bar and borders).

That is already more than a very old 640x480 screen.

Next common step up is 800x600 (often used for safe mode) - if the process line is 40 pixels that leaves 600-40 = 560 pixels - so it should be safe to increase the Configuration dialog height with around 40 pixels.

Using larger config window has been already suggested a year ago:

I know that is why I wrote: "Maybe it is time to make the Configuration dialog a bit bigger."

I am already making the config dialog a bit larger when there is enough screen space - the design size is just 570x460 pixels (plus title bar).

[petermad]

the design size is just 570x460 pixels

Is that inner or outer size - in Windows 7 the borders are typically 5 pixels (user defined) - in Window 10 it is 1 pixel (fixed)

Slight OT: Don't get fooled by Windows 10, they have big window borders too, the trick is that the outer part is transparent. So you don't see it, but it's there. You can reveal it when you slowly move the mouse cursor towards the border from outside. Default arrow changes to resize cursor seemingly several pixels from the border, but in fact it already reached the invisible border.

15.03.21 Fixed: Border overlapping in main configuration dialog on Windows 7, maybe also on other systems, on pages "Layout" and "Thumbnails" (32/64)

Confirmed fixed in TC 10 b2
