I was the last on my block to ditch the old CRT monitor and get a new, 1600 x 1200 LCD which gives me a super sharp, high resolution screen. Love it. However, this tends to make the BBO display pretty small and tough for old eyes to see. Popular applications such as Firefox provide immediate and real time control of font size using the CTRL key and middle mouse scroll button and other applications (such as Jack) seem to be able to automatically readjust the display size appropriately no matter what resolution setting I have on my desktop.

Everytime I invoke the BBO software (which is a lot), I find I have to go through the Desktop "properties/settings/screen resolution - 1024 x 768 pixels/Do you want to keep these settings - yes" dance so the screen is sized so I can see it, and then do the reverse dance to return to other applications.

Not a really big thing but getting to be more and more of a nuisance particularly as I suspect much of the planet has now graduated from the old 800 x 600 standard.

Haven't seen this comment before -- perhaps I'm missing something..........

Nonetheless, great site, great software, a great asset to the bridge community.

Not me, I still use 800 x 600 because its easiest on the old eyes.

i use Resolution Changer to change resolutions. it simplifies the process. u can download it from www.download.com.

(I use 800*600, but sometimes change to to higher ones)
