Obscured buttons/boxes on File Find

spinner · Post by **spinner** » 01 Oct 2004 13:32

I am using TrackerV3 3.60.0037. Does anyone get the same as I do?

When I click the tab "Find Files" then there are buttons and check boxes to the right of the lower set of tabs (Name & Location, Size, Date, etc) which are obscured by a gray area extending a long way to the right.

To be more specifc: there is an inch or two of gray to the right of the last lowertab called Exclude Folders. Behind this I can part of the lable of a button which end in "low" and one which says "Esc)" and then there are three check boxes (there ay be more) which are just over half covered.

Is this due to a setting in XP or is it something in Tracker?

Can I get the missing stuff to be visible?

Thanks!

Why don't you try the latest version?

Sounds like a bug indeed. Let's try to isolate it:
I assume it is connected with a special display setting. Did you choose 'Large Fonts' or any other custom system wide font setting?

Also, a screenshot would be helpful. And please, try the latest version because the find files interface changed somewhat from 3.60.0042 onwards.

I have downloaded 3.60.0042 and the obscurnig of the buttons is now *more* noticeable than the previous version of 3.60 which I was using.

Here is a link to a screenshot http://freespace.virgin.net/orange.numb ... curing.gif
(BTW is there somewhere on this forum where I can upload screenshots to in future and if so then where is it and how do I do it?)

As you can see, the buttons and checkboxes (which I don't think I have ever seen) are now so obscured that they are completely inaccessible.

You are right in that I am using some custom settings for the display. They is nothing obscure. I have set the display dpi to 106% of normal size (display properties > settings > advanced > display).

I may (or may not) have also changed the fonts in display properties > appearance > advanced. I am a bit vague because ISTR that the settings I varied made things look less good and I believe I restored them all to the defaults.

AFAICT these display setting changes have never adversely affected any other program I have used.

Hope this helps.

Ok, I fixed it. See next BETA version (at the end of this topic).

Thanks for spotting that! Apparently nobody ever tried TrackerV3 with this kind of display customizing, or at least nobody told me
