Great to see v1.00 jdobbs!
Just wanted to report some issues with the skins sizing on my display. Attached is what I see when using the default and teck skins. As I recall, this had also happened with some earlier skins, but was resolved with some sizing tweaks.

edit: the simple blue, rockas orig, and windows standard look fine

Wow... that's odd. Have you setup any unusual display settings?

not that I'm aware of...
the screen area is 1280 x 1024.

Well... it would be great if I could see the images :)

Unfortunately I'm having trouble accessing the mod site to approve it. I haven't done it in a while -- it may have changed with the new forum update.

How about fonts? Have you changed the default to Large fonts?

The Teck original skin (and Rebuilder default) don't have an option to uncheck the extras only in the segment viewer.

The Rockas original skin still has the Options dropdown menu that allows this to be unchecked.

My mistake, missed the new View/Edit dropdown option on main title bar. Sorry!

yep, I did have it on large fonts... I went ahead and switched back to small fonts, rebooted, and now the skins look fine, other than very small text! I wasn't aware that that selecting 'large fonts' would screw up the interface like that. Now I just need new glasses to see these fonts :(

No, what I need to do is add some code to stretch the new background images when necessary. It's one of those interesting Microsoft things.

I had the same problem and changed my fonts and it worked. I never would of guessed it was the fonts. I had the same problem with dvdd and that better now to.

Thanks

Jdobbs,

Were you still planning on getting to this fix at some point?
As more and more features get added to RB, I'm finding that using RB w/the windows standard skin is not as efficient as it used to be. Some tick boxes, like 'remove dts' aren't even there on the standard. I'd to switch to the teck skin, but I am still seeing the above mentioned problems when using 'large fonts'.

Yeah. I just hadn't made it a priority because there are so few people who use the large fonts.
