| It was the screen resolution. Switching from 800x600 to 1280x800 solved the issue. The restriction was on the main screen, and I downloaded the version from page 1 of this thread. |

| Thank you very much. So low screen resolution on the title page. This is what I expected. The other pages should all auto-adjust or be of smaller screen resolution. While I am at it, I should massively adjust the menue type pages in another way. I need to set the background size to scale/adjust to the screen resolution, then arrange the icons to fit the screen resolution. With all the widescreens, sub-notebooks, and other unconventional resolution settings out there, it is hard to enable large screen resolutions. Lots of games just use a window or will try to force the resolution to a common small one, which does not always work well. There are so many resolutions/proportions in use out there it is very difficult to make a screen look good in all of them. Nonetheless, I am gonna whip this whole issue and get some nice zoom ability and all that great stuff going. |

| OK, just checked the version you downloaded. That is a "Version 1 release with preview" version. It doesn't have all the resolution adjusting features of the newer one. I will make sure the current Alpha is stable, and post it for funzies. I will set it to run at VERY LOW priority, so that if it has a glitch that I have not found (such as an unending logic loop) that wants to freeze your computer, you can exit out of it and end it more easily. I'll post here when it is ready. |
