Hey folks. Newbie here. I have just bought a Maplin N96 FY weather station and after many recommendations from various quarters I was told to forget the supplied software that came with the station and go for Cumulus. So here I am. I have loaded it onto my laptop, but it isn't sizing right on my computer screen. It is only going out to about three quarters of the size of the screen. I have tried right clicking the mouse to get it to go to full-screen, but it wont. Can anybody help/
Thanks
Malc

Re: Sizing of pages on computer
Could you show a screen shot of the Cumulus window, so I can see what you mean? What is the resolution of your display? It tries to resize itself on 'smaller' displays so that you get to see everything, but it's possible that your particular resolution is causing that to go wrong. Do you have the font size set to more than 100%?

Panic over. I've managed to work it so my taskbar is hidden now, so I can get the full view of Cumulus.

Re: Sizing of pages on computer
Sorry to resurrect an old topic but I have the same issue. As shown in the attached screengrab, my Cumulus is at about 3/4 screen size when maximized.
My screen resolution is 1280x1024 on Windows 7. Everything else is working ok.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Kroma

Re: Sizing of pages on computer
I can't see anything wrong with yours. The original poster had part of the Cumulus window missing due to the size (or aspect ratio) of his laptop display. You are seeing all of it, as far as I can tell. That's as big as it gets, sorry.

Ah that's fine. Having stumbled across the original message I clearly misunderstood and thought "same here". No worries
