And I reported that's exactly what it looks like on my setup running Win 7. Again, XP has nothing to do with it at least not here. The upper and lower is about 50/50 and those proportions are directly related to screen res. My max res is 1366 and that takes it to maybe 45/55, not a big diff. You don't get to the 25/75 ratio until you take the res up to around 1920 and that makes it unreadable to a lot of folks. Like you said it takes a young fighter pilot with 20/15 eyesight to read the Biab GUI at that number.
Wationtlypaiting for the patch.

On the newer OS's, the upper area only takes up about 1/3 instead of about 1/2. Not sure what impact any OS should have on this issue -> it's all a matter of screen resolution. On a Win 7 system here with a 1366x786 notebook about half of the screen real estate is occupied by toolbars, mixer and stuff. On bigger screens it's less of course. The bigger the screen the better it looks. PG representatives promised work in progress with respect to swapping toolbars and customzing the ordering of buttons. No promises as of now with respect to providing more real estate for the chord chart window in case of smaller notebook screens, say. No promise as of yet to make the mixer optional in order to free space for shifting toolbars e.g. or to provide an option to go with the old UI style. Guess we just need to see what options PG will eventually be providing.

Yes, we're looking forward to an upcoming fix that will give us more flexibility in this area.

On a Win 7 system here with a 1366x786 notebook about half of the screen real estate is occupied by toolbars, mixer and stuff. On bigger screens it's less of course. The bigger the screen the better it looks. Poorly worded, what I was trying to say is that, along with the larger screensizes and bigger resolution capabilities of the more recently made laptops - which were made to ship with newer OS's, comes the ability desired here. The older laptops that shipped predominantly with XP, for the most part also shipped at a time when the 14" screen was the big hooptydoo. PG representatives promised work in progress with respect to swapping toolbars and customzing the ordering of buttons. Yes indeed. No promises as of now with respect to providing more real estate for the chord chart window in case of smaller notebook screens, say. No promise as of yet to make the mixer optional in order to free space for shifting toolbars e.g. or to provide an option to go with the old UI style.
Guess we just need to see what options PG will eventually be providing. Some of us are merely passing on info learned during the Beta, not just what has been posted on these forums. I'm sure that PG will provide what they reasonably can, and judging by the posts about this particular issue, are going to do the best they can to provide solutions. And, as we have seen many times in the history of it, the PG solution might just go in directions that are not predictable, or, at the least, quite innovative. Meanwhile, I'm just Having Lots of Fun with BB these days anyway. --Mac
