Is it possible to make the background copy/move dialog bigger?

Post by *kwanbis »

I have a 2K monitor and is really small, I would like to make it 4 times bigger.

I am not talking about the F2 dialog for copy/move, I am talking the dialog that happens when you press background while doing a foreground copy/move.

Thanks.

its either f5 for copy or f6 for move as F2 is reload/refresh

Use the maximize button?
or do you mean the font size which would be a windows settings?

I think kwanbis is referring to the dialog that pops up in the top of the screen when you from the Copy or Move dialog click the button [F2 Queue]

You cannot use the maximize button in the Copy progress dialog, it is disabled both in the foreground and in tye background.

It has been requested here in the forum several times to make the Copy progress dialogs bigger and/or resizable, but so far it has been refused.

you are ofc right (as always) I was thinking of background transfer manager?

PS: could you please try (beta 7 or 8 ) if the red x-icon for the cancel copy operation looks as strange for you as in this picture?

Sorry to read. Screen's keep getting bigger and bigger and the TC Dialogs stay as if we had 800x600.

You can use the Setting: "Font" -> "Set dots per inch (DPI) to:" to enlarge both the font and the dialog sizes.

Here is how it looks by me in Windows 10: https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/cancelcopyw10.png
Here is how it looks by me in Windows 7: https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/cancelcopyw7.png

Since the icons are different, I guess it is a Windows system icon - probably icon 93 in imageres.dll.mun / imageres.dll

ok for the future references, as tc 64bit has only disadvantages, I use mostly tc 32bit and yes the 64bit version has no text label behind the icon.

Here is how it looks by me in Windows 10 32bit: https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/cancelcopyw10-32.png
Here is how it looks by me in Windows 7 32bit: https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/cancelcopyw7-32.png

Under Windows 10 the icon has some little dots on each side. Maybe it is yet another Windows 10 bug
