All those fancy new buttons not visible on a 1024x768 display.

Pete, what version of the BOINC manager are you using (and what OS version?).

I'm sorry about this -- I had fun adding all of these buttons. I'll ask the BOINC GUI experts to add a scroll bar or some other way to reach them in future releases.

Cheers,
Bruce

They first appeared on my 4.45 CC machines. Just spent the day switching to 4.71 and they remain. They are a really neat extension of the system.

In 1024x768, only the first 10 buttons are totally visible. I have one machine that operates at a higher resolution [1.2K x whatever]and all 12 buttons are visible.

in 800x600 only the first 5 are reachable.

OS's are (7) Win98, (1) NT4.0, (15) 2000Pro, and (1) XPPro

As well not if you run it in a window, not full screen.

I had to make it bigger to see, that I already had bookmarked most of them already ;)

Hmmmm .. I'm running

Hmmmm ..

I'm running 1024x768 on a Windows 2000 machine, and all 14 radio buttons are clearly visible. Don't understand the problem, but then, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed ....

I don't run every program full screen. I've no probs when running full screen, but that's not the way it's usually set up here, as I stated: It's too big when running in a window, and that's my desired mode.

How many of the "new" buttons

How many of the "new" buttons do you find useful?

The only one I'd like to see is the main URL.

Frankly, I'm a very small fish in this pond, and I only need the website button. Granted, the other buttons ease navigation around the site, but I'd rather do it myself ... personal preference
