Yay for a new computer. Oh yes. And yay for no longer being dumpy and grumpy 😀

(After I sorted out the fact that the version that dropped the taskbar into oblivion at either the top or the bottom of the screen wasn’t the way to go!)

Now why didn’t I ask Ask Simon in the beginning??

Hmmm, maybe I can configure it so that I am always tall and svelte in onscreen photos, and then I can kid myself that I really don’t need to deny myself that second helping…

I’d resend my email but my program didn’t save it. I’ll try to remember what I said … *g*

Right-click the desktop, choose Properties then Settings and change the slider to something the same width but less tall. E.g. 1280 x 1024 should be changed to 1280 x 960 (or less) Keep fiddling.
You should also find out the native resolution of the LCD panel, because that setting will give you the sharpest possible image. E.g. my desktop is 1280 x 1024, my laptop is 1024 x 768 and my wife’s laptop is 1280 x 960 (widescreen). It really makes a difference, and no more dumpy.
