• Are you looking for a coupon code to buy my software? You can get one from lots of 3rd party sites but they won't work. My software never goes on sale and has never been discounted. The only coupon codes that are given is when I give a club presentation and I offer a discount to the attendees. Other than that, everyone pays the same price.

Detail View in SegmentPro

Is there a way to enlarge the Detail window in SegmentPro? I've attached a screen shot of my current setup and there is a lot of wasted white space in the detail view. I've looked everywhere but can't figure out how to enlarge that part of the window. It would be nice to have a larger view of the bowl.

What is your display settings in windows?

Windows settings should be for SP.
1. The resolution MUST be 1920 x 1080
2. The Scaling MUST be 100%.
 
Thank you. Those settings won't work on my 30 inch display - it throws off everything. I'll just live with the smaller detail window.

Have a great day.

Just curious. With your 30" display what are your windows settings.

resolution
and scaling percentage?
 
My native resolution is 3840x2160 and I scale the text up to 150%, otherwise it is way too small. When I go with the 1920x1080 resolution the text gets fuzzy. I do a lot of photography editing - that's why I need the bigger screen.
 
Microsoft has created their own problem, I’m afraid. If you use their Visual Studio Development System to create apps, you have to create a field of a specific size and then specify the font and font size that looks appropriate at a scale of 100%. If the scale is increased, the font size increases but the size of the field does not. They now are developing new user interface technology that handles this but switching from my current solution would mean that I couldn’t use my 3D libraries. It would be the equivalent of swapping engines in your car.

I’m also a photographer and fully understand why and when you need super resolution. You simply need to determine the amount of time you use the computer for high res or low (is 1080P low?) res. To change to low res, you just select 1920x1080 and the text will not be fuzzy if you change the scale to 100%. When you’re done switch it back to the high res or vise verse. This should take about 15 seconds.

In the next release of Segment PRO, I‘ve changed the UI to floatable and dockable window panes. The current version does not make good use of screen space because I’m guessing that 15% of my users still have low res (768 vertical lines). I have to make sure that the entire UI is visible on both 768 and 1080. By allowing floating panes, the low res users can undock the pane and that frees up space of other panes. The new bowl view will be the height of the monitor.

The UI is mostly done but I’m working on other things that still need work. I’m currently building two websites for non-profits where I’m a board member and they are high priority. Once I’m done with them (shouldn’t be long), I’ll get back to programming. It isn’t that easy, though, with the new UI, I have to remake all of the video tutorials. I have learned that if ever someone watches a video tutorial that doesn’t match their screen, I get a support call.
 
LOL, yes I know exactly what you mean with getting calls if something doesn't match 100%.

I will continue to use the higher resolution - it's not that big of a deal to have the smaller detail window.

Thank you.
