I could change the skin by pressing the . key and 0 key but the problem isn't the skin... aparently, my monitor resolution is 1280x1024 I try changing the resolution but the problem still... what can I do?? sad.gif

PS. Sorry my poor english... tongue.gif

Hi Hikaru,

Thanks for your post. I'm going to pass it on to our development team and get someone to get back to you as soon as possible.

Hi Hikaru,

I will try and fix this for you.

It looks like the phone is skinning to larger buttons. huh.gif

Some questions for you:

[1]
Has this problem been on your phone from the beginning or just after you loaded new skin?

[2]
Can you post a screenshot of your windows calculator? If my guess is correct then your calculator may appear bigger than mine.

[3]
What version of windows are you running.

Hikaru- 09-02-2004
Hi, thanx for the quick answer...

[1] yes, I have this problem since the first instalation with the original skin...

[2] yes, my calc looks bigger...

[3] I have Win XP Pro...

I am thinking of how to write a fix for this.

For now you can get the phone working by setting your windows so that your calculator is the same size as mine.

I can't work out how to make my calculator bigger, so I can't tell you how to make yours smaller blink.gif

Can you think of anything that you've set on your WindowsXP that would make the calculator bigger? If you can then change it back for a temporary fix.

I know that whis is not ideal because you are in 1280x1024 and you may find everything too small to read (that's probablty why you made things bigger to start with)

Thanks for helping me debug this! smile.gif

I will keep you posted with my development of V1.21 which will fix this for you.

P.S. Can you post if you know hyow to change the size of dialog applications like calculator in winXP... thx... smile.gif

Hikaru- 09-03-2004
I think is because I change the desktop PPP size... by default is 96 PPP and now I change to 120 PPP... but even back to default to this parameter I can fix the view of my Gecko...
I have a lot of application that use skinned faces ( I don't know how to write in english) like winamp... but they look normal...
I don't know what else I can do... sad.gif

PS. to change the screen PPP you can go to the desktop properties and go to configuration tab, there is a advance option button....

I've sorted the problem out, I now have the buttons and screen positions hard coded.

Version 1.21 will work correctly in any screen DPI setting.

Expected release date of 1.21 is within 2 weeks wink.gif

fraser- 09-08-2004
OK, bug sorted.

Version 1.21 is now out laugh.gif

Hikaru- 09-10-2004
