Some dialogs in FEKO are too small to fit the text data.

Some dialogs in FEKO are too short or too narrow to fit the text data.

For example, the material library holds just 3-4 lines on a UltaHD screen, which is a nonsense. The dialog may be stretched horizontally, but not vertically.

 

I know that there are hack tools resetting the WinAPI window dimension locks; however, it is a big risk of getting a malware with these tools.

Is there another way, like changing FEKO configuration in the registry, to stretch these dialogs vertically? Just adding a few text lines would make things much better.

    Hi Andrew,

    I absolutely agree with you. Are there any other dialog boxes that you think should be enlarged vertically? I would then contact the development department.

    By the way, Feko 2024 has just been released. Perhaps the appearance has already been improved there? I haven't installed it myself yet.

    Best regards,
    Torben

    Honestly, I am just starting to work with it. And it is almost everywhere. The software, obviously, was fixedly designed for 800x600 CRT screens, and it should look nice there. But today UHD screens and font scaling are available..

    So If I had any influence ond UI design, I would unlock vertical stretching as mandatory for:

    -any dialog where horizontal stretching is available

    -any dialog with vertical scrolling list

    - any dialog with a table.

    - any dialog with a text document (like logs)

     

    If I see a particular place covering the text, I will update here.
