We DID cuss and discuss the difficulty in viewing - and seeing - things during the Beta testing.

One of the issues we found out at the time was that people with different computers, different size screens and also the newer Windows Operating Systems seemed to report more screen space and more ability to adjust screen resolutions to where things onscreen in BiaB were larger and easier to see.

We did that by posting screenshots of what each setup looked like. There were quite a few who participated in that, as I recall.

Bottom line is that most of the reports from those using the older systems (XP, Vista) and smaller laptop or monitor screens showed less real estate available when Screen Resolutions were set large enough to really be able to see things, when resetting Screen Resolution higher, BB shows more of the Tool Icons on the smaller screen, but at the expense of everything else, Chord Sheet, Notation, etc. getting even smaller.

Win7 and Win8, on the other hand, coupled with the newer and larger screens and drivers, yields an easier to see Display IMO, having used both an XP and a Win7 laptop during the Beta.

Fast Forward to today, some three months or so of usage on, I now find that I can hook my BB USB drive up to the old XP laptop and find and see everything a LOT easier due to more familiarity with the new GUI and these several months of working with BB on a daily basis.

Display could still be bigger and better, though. Maybe that's something for a future version release, at least I'm hoping. By then XP and/or smaller screen sizes and resolutions is likely to be relegated to the same place where Win95 now resides.
