Can't access all the options

I have an EEE 1000H with a 10" screen running 1024x600 resolution. Windowblinds will not maximize to the screen, nor is there a scroll bar. I can not see the bottom of the pages. Is there a fix to this problem?

you can see all of WB configuration if you're able to switch to 1024x768

 

not real sure how the skins will look after you apply one and switch back to 1024x600

 

you can also try picking one via - right click destkop > properties > appearance tab > drop down list

Don't most of these PCs have a setting so that you can emulate a bigger screen by scrolling?

Intel driver only support 1024x768 or scrolling for XP. I have Vista and there is no support for that.

 

Can't Stardock make the program like all the others out there to dynamically resize based on the screen size and have a scroll bar. When i programmed it was not hard to add such things. Maybe it was easier to just disable the maximize button.

Then isn't it Intel you should be after to write a better Vista driver; reminiscent of nVidia slowness for Vista?

Not really since Firefox, Office, SimCity, Starcraft, and every other program I have ever run has fit the screen just fine. Quite honestly I am not considering purchasing this software now with this kind of input.

bear in mind the input you haver received thus far is from users

Even though it says 'support' and support staff do pass through - it's still basically users trying to help users - even says that on the stardock support page

 

Neil (dev) has said on prior posts having it resize can cause aspects of the window to skew around - it's basically laid out the way it is (the WB config is set at 800x600) so it looks it's best

 

looking at your screen shot, seems you should be able to move the window up to the top edge, hide the taskbar and get to all options

Supporting resizing would be more complicated than you would think as many of the pages in Wbconfig are simply too large to fit at a smaller resolution.  The pages are laid out assuming a fixed window size.  At the time we developed the WB6 Wbconfig there really were no Windows based laptops with such low screen resolutions.

As the netbook class of devices are becoming more and more popular we are considering how to support their much smaller screen resolutions.
