Dialogs Don't Compensate For Oversized Fonts

[mregal]

The Windows XP 32 system font size that I use is a bit larger then normal because my flat panel native resolution is 1920x1200. So consequently I use a 120 DPI system font. That's 125% of the normal system font.

Many software manufactures, (such as myself), don't take that into account when writing custom dialogs. Scaling forms is one of the holly grails of software engineering and TextPad didn't seem to broach that issue completely. The Configure -> Preferences Tree List's scroll bar extends out the width of the scroll bar intruding on the space to its right.

So for instance, it covers the "Enable Syntax Highlighting" check box but doesn't extend any farther over. Its just annoying enough to bug me but its not a show stopper. I simply have to approach the check box from right to left being careful not to hover the mouse over the Tree List control. Otherwise the control appears to be reading the mouse movements and its scroll bar activates.

So I guess I would love to see larger fonts compensated for in TextPad in the future. And don't get me wrong, TextPad is a marvelous work of art...so if I didn't say thanks before, I'm saying it now

I too have the save problem where when setting up properties for functions in textpad that the objects are overlayed by other objects and I have a hard time seeing what needs to be changed. It would be great to have this fixed.

Add my vote for this. I almost always operate with "large" or "extra large" fonts because I use monitors with the smallest possible dot pitch to give the highest available resolution, so software which doesn't allow for this causes problems for me.
