Version 6 GUI, High DPI Settings

Postby netvisionary » Wed Mar 09, 2011 6:13 am

Hi,

I just ran the Newsbin beta and like the graphical updates very much. On my high dpi settings however text in the status bar is cut off as the "columns" in the status bar have a fixed size. Maybe you could also test your GUI with high dpi settings.

Which ones are getting cut off? By default, it autosizes but, I hated how the status bar was moving around so I disabled auto-sizing.

Right now sometimes the first column with current speed in mbit and mbyte/second, also the cache column.

I get a couple of oceans of space between Ready and the speed display. Cache shows things like 1490/15 (and the 5 is cut in half...) ((cache is set to 1500 chunks)) (((also at 125%)))

With B5, the cache isn't nearly as necessary, not if you set the Memory file size large enough. It just stores the chunks in ram so, the cache is barely used.
