Title: Having an option to reduce window height
Post by: Hogelnodel on April 15, 2020, 06:35:48 AM

What really bugs me and not allows me to enjoy c# aurora to it's full potential is that every window is very large and there is no option to change it.  I can't even read what most buttons do since the windows are so big, even if i remove stuff like the toolbar. 

In VB Aurora there was an option to reduce window height, so why not add it to c#? It shouldn't take much work and it would help people with small monitors greatly.

Because we wanted C# Aurora to come out this year, not 2022.

Options:
Connect to a larger monitor or TV.
Connect to a second monitor and extend your screen across both.
Use Infinite Screen app to adjust window sizes.
Run a virtual machine Widows 10 installation to simulate a bigger monitor

Oh, and change your display scaling to 100%.

It took a modder like 30 minutes to do it.  I'm not sure why you think it would take 2 years to add it.

Because Steve doesn't use screens that small, and doesn't want to spend his time doing something he finds boring, annoying, or both.

It's the same reason I haven't unpacked my boxes of college textbooks from my last move.

Options:
Build a bigger bookshelf
Install an extra bookshelf
Pay a kid to unpack the boxes for you.
Mention it to your wife in a roundabout way and hope she takes initiative.
