The problem here is that while VB6 used to require height more than the width so that 1280x1024 worked well, C# requires width more than height, hence why 1440x900 is the minimum.

This is what the class design screen looks at 1440x900 after using the maximized button:



All the buttons are visible, though the bottom ones are slightly cut off due to the Windows taskbar.

Your solution here is to get a screen that supports 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio instead of 4:3 or 5:4. If your monitor is very old.

1280x1024 is a 5:4 aspect ration. If you can't do 1440x900 (which is a 16:10 aspect ratio) or 1600x900 (which is a 16:9 aspect ratio), try 1280x960 as that's a 4:3 and might work on your monitor.

Thats screenshot looks like how I used to play VB on my old laptop, After removing the task bar. Playable but not ideal :/

". . .  We know nothing about them, their language, their history or what they look like.  But we can assume this.  They stand for everything we don't stand for.  Also they told me you guys look like dorks. "

Noriad posted a fix here:

Which works well for me. It looks kinda janky, but it makes the game playable, which is infinitely better than it was before.
