Increase the size of the Options window

Post by Olivier_G »

The current Options panel is 579x431 pixels, and looks small on my 21" 1600x1200 display, especially when you consider the amount of settings available...

I suggest we increase it to 640x480, in order to provide more space (especially useful for: Association, Write>File types, Cache, Files displayed...) and overal providing more clarity to the Options, while matching the smaller VGA standard for compatibility.

:) Hello ! Bonsoir,

- Sounds good in the principle, it could be displayed without problem on 1024*768…
¤ It should be useful to get some wider controls, I support.

- However, I fear that users having still 800*600 would grouse a lot ! :P

In 1.82RC1, the Options Window is now larger (642x464). I'm quite satisfied with this change... :).

Thank you, Pierre.
