Topic: TMFX Doesn't Quite Fit The Screen

Is there a way to get TMFX to fit the screen?  No matter at 100%, 135%, or 200% it just won't fit the screen.  Here's a screenshot of the closest I can get it to fit:

Re: TMFX Doesn't Quite Fit The Screen

Is this hardcoded into firmware or can this be adjusted furthermore than just the 100%,135%,200% options?

It's bitmap, not vector graphic, to look better, see also this thread:

Is this for performance/space considerations in firmware?  I think I understand that vector graphics can be costly.  Also not sure by what you mean when you say '...to look better'.

MC said this, did you click the URLs that I provided to you and really read the threads ? Seems not.

Did read through them.  I wasn't sure when I read your reply.  I always thought vector graphics designed apps looked better than bitmap designed back when I was experimenting with linux OSes but he's talking about how it fits screen/resolution.  Thanks for the reply either way.  It now makes sense why it doesn't exactly fit the 1080p screen.

Re: TMFX Doesn't Quite Fit The Screen

As a somewhat useful workaround you can try this software:

http://www.airesoft.co.uk/help/windowwatcher

It creates a duplicate window that can be scaled to any size larger or smaller than the original and it accepts mouse actions on the duplicate.

Unfortunately you need to keep the original TMFX window open somewhere in the background, it cannot be minimized. You could just move it out of the screen (below taskbar), though. Another drawback is that while right-clicks can be performed (keep CTRL pressed), the resulting popup menu only shows up inside the original TMFX window. But if you only use right-clicks seldom then it's really quite useful and comes with a very small foot-print.

Thanks for this!
