Awww. I updated to the beta with the bigger table, and this is not exactly what I wanted... I do have large enough monitor at home, and the former size was more or less perfect.

I can't find a property to toggle with the old and the new size, please do enable such if this feature does get included in the new release..

The size toggle works fine. To do this, press Control-and-W keys at the same time. This changes between the two sizes. Also, with the beta, play with the button on the bottom of the screen that looks like two green boxes or squares. This makes a real difference in the general look of the table (when playing or kibitizing) at least imho.

It's not the height, but width that annoys me. Without a possibility to resize the window to not overlay a couple of internet browsers.

Height is ok, I have in full height always.

Well Control-W will (or should) change it back to the same size it was before you downloaded the beta... pressing it again widen's it.

I find the wide-and-narrow table feels odd... so increase the height of the table looks more natural to me... on the narrower setting I have the short table...

Err...! Now that I played with the c-w, I can't get the window to full height any more! :)

The table changes the height, but in all the whole window frame is now something like 75% of the monitor height (1280x1024)

I think this is because it is hardwired for a 1024x768 resolution. So on my laptop, which I run at 1280x1024 what you describe is what I see. On my desktop which runs at 1024x768, the thing fills up the screen.

Rigth after the update the window height was fullsize. But after the first c-w I haven't been able to get back any more...

Hmm... I wonder if I should check the registry for some nice numbers... ;)

Running on XP, but I guess that doesn't really make that much a difference.

Being able to choose between resolutions would be nice. I plan to change to 1600x1200 any time now soon as I get my 21" monitor.

Registry won't help

I think Control-W toggles width and the "maximize" button (upper right of window) toggles height. I think you can choose between 2 widths and 3 (2?) heights? All very confusing!

Saved!

The Maximize button upper right in the window frame did the trick. Seems to be so, except that c-w also cuts the height when changing width. So, a feature to fix :)

if u use BBO ( beta) for the first time, it presents itself in 1000*800. For users running a PC-resolution of 800*600 better start in old format?

Oh boy, I'm also running in 1280*1024. I think I'll just wait for the full version this time :P
