Project properties dialog too high

(1/3) > >>

Hi,

I'm using C::B (4266) on Ubuntu 7.04, and I have the following problem: the project properties window is so high that I can't "reach" the OK button as it gets hidden below the screen edge.

Now, when I use a 15'' monitor, I can solve this by hiding the bottom gnome panel (which is also quite awkward, but I got used to it); but on my 12'' laptop I can't reach the OK button even when I hide both the bottom and the top panels. So I can't really set any project properties, which in my case means I can't use C::B at all  :(  Take look at the screenshot.

Looking at this dialog, I don't see why it has to be so large: most of the vertical space is occupied by text boxes, so maybe there's a way to shorten it a bit, or make it sizable?

I'd be gratefull for any ideas on how to go around this problem.

dmoore:
the problem is caused by the build targets tab. do you have a screen shot of that? what resolution are you using?

Olivia:

Here's another screen: http://infinitereflections.org/files/targets.png

The resolution is 1200x800, but I have the same problem with 1024x768.

dmoore:
try placing the attached zip into share/CodeBlocks of your CB installation (backup the old one) and see if it helps. I've just moved the files listbox to the right. it will probably be too wide now  :?

It's perfect!  :D

Here's how it looks now: http://infinitereflections.org/files/good.png

Thank you very, very much.

One last question: when I download a newer version, will I be able to keep using this file you gave me? Or maybe this change in the layout will make it into the newer versions?
