GUI Problem??

[snoopy-joe]

Hi Pat - or anyone else here using the excellent PWCG

 

I am running this and it seems to be working just fine (generates missions for my pilot, records the results etc...)

 

But seem to have a slight problem with the PWCG GUI

 

Please see following screenies

 

 

 

As you can see, it does not seem to be scaling correctly to my screen resolution (3840 x 2160)

 

I have tried messing around with the numbers within the program (configuration/GUI) to make them match my res, but still cannot seem to get it to display corractly

 

Now let me just say - this is a very minor issuer - everything else in PWCG works just dandy 

 

But I would like to mess around with the Advanced Configuration Categories, and am finding that difficult without the help text that is supposed to appear on the right of the window telling me what each option/number does!

 

Anyone else had this issue?

That may be a less than ideal design decision on my part.  I chose not to scale the background papery image to the screen because the texture looks bad if it gets compressed.  Enter very large monitors that are much bigger than my paper image.  I should just break down and scale the image.

OK - that seems fair enough Pat

 

I guess I could change my monitor resolution to 1920x1080, pick the configs that I want, then change back?

 

Dunno - I will give that a go tomorrow evening

 

Thanks for the answer - and thanks for your work on PWCG

Even simpler if you are OK with a paint program: open the image and resize to the size of your monitor.  The name of the image is paperFull.jpg.

That worked a treat

Resampled it up to 3840x2160 in Photoshop - all in the right place now

 

And it looks just fine Pat 

 

Thanks for your help mate
