How to get infinite screen to work
« on: April 14, 2020, 04:42:22 PM »
I was told infinite screen would work with low resolution mointers.  I have 1280x768, whenever i use infinite screen this happens.
hxxp: prntscr. com/rzei6x
to this.  The screen edge cuts off rather than continuing like the program intends to.

Okay - first things first:
You start Infinite Screen (IS from now on) first - then Aurora.
Next up: choose the 3rd tab of the Infinite Screen (IS) marked "Oversize".
In the lower left corner, press the 'Reload List' button
On the list of open windows, choose the one that contains Aurora (easily spotted due to the 'WindowsForms10' and 'Player Race' parts of the description).
Final step: in the lower right corner you can now change Window's Width and Height.

And, yes, you'll have to do this for each and every window you open in Aurora.

Have fun!

Thank you! I have tried it out and it is a pain, but it does work.  I'll add on for other that you can tick the "4ever" box next to the dimensions on infinite screen so you don't have to redo the size every time.

Yeah - that part never worked for me, so I didn't mention it. 
As far as I can tell - as soon as the windows' name is different from the original (and with aurora that's every time you move the time index) - you have to resize it again. 
Correction: only those windows that have time&date on them have to re-resized - all others will remain.  So, Minerals or Events screens, for example, will remain resized.

Still - glad I could help. 
You gents enjoy yourselves.
