Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-buttons-on-mons-2-3-dont-enlarge-to-contain-start/?ID=e8220dd6-bd53-4461-b8ab-221d2d8c1e10#6 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 01:04:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-buttons-on-mons-2-3-dont-enlarge-to-contain-start/?ID=e8220dd6-bd53-4461-b8ab-221d2d8c1e10#6 DisplayFusion You da man!

Looking forward to trying it out. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-buttons-on-mons-2-3-dont-enlarge-to-contain-start/?ID=e8220dd6-bd53-4461-b8ab-221d2d8c1e10#5 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 00:44:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-buttons-on-mons-2-3-dont-enlarge-to-contain-start/?ID=e8220dd6-bd53-4461-b8ab-221d2d8c1e10#5 DisplayFusion Thanks! We should hopefully have this issue fixed up for Beta 7. I'll let you know as soon as it's available to try out. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-buttons-on-mons-2-3-dont-enlarge-to-contain-start/?ID=e8220dd6-bd53-4461-b8ab-221d2d8c1e10#4 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 22:19:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-buttons-on-mons-2-3-dont-enlarge-to-contain-start/?ID=e8220dd6-bd53-4461-b8ab-221d2d8c1e10#4 DisplayFusion Just one final note, Keith,

The taskBAR itself is the right height on 2 and 3, but neither the icons nor the Start button have enlarged on 2 and 3. Whatever is keeping the system tray icons small on 2 and 3 is also keeping the Start button small, though the TEXT on the Start button is as large on 2 and 3 as on 1. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-buttons-on-mons-2-3-dont-enlarge-to-contain-start/?ID=e8220dd6-bd53-4461-b8ab-221d2d8c1e10#3 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 01:59:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-buttons-on-mons-2-3-dont-enlarge-to-contain-start/?ID=e8220dd6-bd53-4461-b8ab-221d2d8c1e10#3 DisplayFusion Thanks, Keith.

A postscript: the Start buttons on mons 2 and 3 don't grow vertically OR horizontallywhen I enlarge the system font to the max (Properties>Appearance>Font Size: Extra Large) without setting individual bar and font sizes. Wait. Maybe that's it. I have to change some button-size setting in Appearance>Advanced. Nope, that couldn't be it or the button wouldn't be the right height and width on the main mon taskbar. Here's a shot from mon 3.

I really appreciate your thinking about this obviously trivial problem. DF is absolutely great in my books. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-buttons-on-mons-2-3-dont-enlarge-to-contain-start/?ID=e8220dd6-bd53-4461-b8ab-221d2d8c1e10#2 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 20:29:47 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-buttons-on-mons-2-3-dont-enlarge-to-contain-start/?ID=e8220dd6-bd53-4461-b8ab-221d2d8c1e10#2 DisplayFusion Unfortunately there isn't a way to manually increase the size, but it should be doing it automatically. I've added this to our list, and we'll post an update as soon as we're able to get it fixed up.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-buttons-on-mons-2-3-dont-enlarge-to-contain-start/?ID=e8220dd6-bd53-4461-b8ab-221d2d8c1e10 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 02:33:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/start-buttons-on-mons-2-3-dont-enlarge-to-contain-start/?ID=e8220dd6-bd53-4461-b8ab-221d2d8c1e10 DisplayFusion My vision isn't as good as it once was, and I use the Windows Appearance settings to make words in menus, title bars, etc. large enough so that I can read them without hunching toward the screen. I've noticed recently that in my XP Pro SP3 (yeah, I know!), the latest version of DF doesn't widen the Start button when I widen the text (by choosing, for instance, Extra Large Fonts in Appearance). I get the word "Start" on my main monitor, where Windows controls the button, but I only get "Sta" on the buttons of monitors 2 & 3, where DF controls them. Is there a way to stretch the button size hrizontally in DF? ]]>
