truncated dropdown menus

Post by James Lynch »

I just upgraded to v5. The font in all pull down menus is too large, truncating the contents, and there are no slider controls, either. This is a show stopper for me.

Which Build (Help > About) of MediaMonkey 5 and Windows version are you using? Have you set a custom DPI or text size in the Windows settings?

I have the same problem. I am using Win 10 with all display settings on recommend and fonts at 100%. Using MM 5.0.1.2341
If I change resolution or font size MM is not affected. Surely we can't be the only two with this problem. And yes I just called you Shirley.

You are running a pre-release version of MM5.
Try this version

I don't know whether it helps, but it will help you get support attention.

Are you saying that the problem exhibits itself at default font/DPI settings?

Do you mean that size in MediaMonkey doesn't change along with Windows font/DPI settings or that the truncation persists?

It would be great to have ability to change font size like in the MM4 option under skins. I have my Win10 scaling set so it is perfect for all my other applications, but find it hard to read the text in MM5.

I mean that changing the resolution nor the font size has any bearing on the pull down menus, they are truncating no matter what I adjust. The overall size and resolution is correct in MM it is only the pull down menus that have the problem and can not be adjusted. I have also applied other skins to see if that would fix the problem but it has not.

I'm another who finds the font size too big in MM5. In both the artist list and the now playing list there are far fewer entries displayed compared with MM4 and the now playing list just looks really cluttered in general compared to MM4.

The font size in my MM4 looks to be around 10 or 11 point at my resolution and MM5 looks to be three or 4 points higher.

I also agree that the font size is way too large. I can only display about half of the information that I had in MM4. It also looks very cluttered to me in contrast to the MM4. Any ability to change the font size back is appreciated.

This font size issue was also the first thing I noticed when I first intalled V5.1 and now still in 5.2.2508

Just wanting to add my name to the list who would like the old font sizing back, or option to adjust as desired.

Try a different skin. This one is the one mentioned in my sig line. Not my work btw.
I have crappy eyesight, but the font used here is good, and seems to pack 25% more than the default skin.
