How to See the Bottom of a Tab
« on: June 10, 2013, 05:19:36 PM »
Hi there, I am Wrath.  I just found out about Aurora today, and I am in need of knowing how to actually see the bottom of a tab once I get to it.  I have seen the suggestions for Software hacks and such, but none of those seem efficient to where they would always work. 

For the next release, [since there is no way to fix it without updates] is to add a scrolling feature.  If not this, make the resolution needed for the screen fixable? Or even make a way to minimize the screen height. 

Thanks

Did you turn on "reduced height windows"?

Indeed, I have turned - wait-a second. . .

Does the 'Reduce Height Windows' only work for the LATEST version? If so, I think I may have already screwed up by posting this. 
If it is compatible with each version, then it does not work. 

My point being, I have been running a version 5. # since today, and I have had it on constantly.

It's an in-game option. Been there a while, however it does not affect all windows. Which window in particular is causing the issue?

*Do Note that I am running on a Windows 7 capable of a resolution of 1000+*

It is.  .  Well, just about them all, besides the system map.   The Productions of Shipyards, about everything in the F2 key.

Did you reset window positions?

Yep. It sets all the top/left coordinates for the Aurora windows to 0, 0.

But, the screen size stays the same, making me not be able to access the lower buttons.

Vertical resolution is the important part, not horizontal.

EDIT: To add a workaround:

How to run Aurora in a playable state on small monitors:
1. Game Parameters -> Reduced Height Windows.
2. Lock taskbar to the right side of your desktop.
3. Download and run ResizeEnable
