Hi!
I'm having strange display in Cumulus 1.9.1
In the status bar, in bottom right, "Current : " box misalignment (Overlap status message)

I'm using Windows XP SP3 French:
any idea?
Thanks in advance,
Jacques

Don't know, sorry. Possibly something to do with your screen resolution, or even the XP 'theme' that you use.

I to am getting the overlap problem, not as bad as JacquesD's tho.
MS XP Pro SP3, Just using the standard theme that is default.

Yes, I can reproduce that in an XP VM using "Windows XP" theme:

Switching to "Windows Classic" theme fixes it:

I'm not sure that there's anything that I can do about it that would work on all systems without causing other issues.

Hi,
This morning I have to reboot for Windows Update. I've see that it is ok in the few first seconds, but when gauges are finished to draw, "current" as been bumped lower.
A simple solution could be to move the box a little bit, just after "Recent Extremes" frame, that "hole" seems to be the right size for it!

My O/S is XP Professional SP3 too...
Just a suggestion

People quite often make this mistake - assuming that what they see is the same as what everyone else sees

Not just 1.9.2; for a very long time, for people with "extra" sensors.

Oh!
I see that I have to buy a better station!
... and if you put simply "current box" in the middle of bottom,
no risk to overlap status messages at extreme right?
But I think we could have to upgrade to windows 7
(I've recycled XP licence from my main pc... but don't say it to Bill G.
)

You could always do yourself a favour and stop using the horrible default Luna theme

Hi Steve,
... how do you kow for Lune Theme? I've allway think that Cumulus was "Spy free"
But for real, it's not a resolution problem, I,ve tried 1024x768 to 1900x1080.
I've tried a few Theme, with no succes... until I take "Windows Classique" theme!
(Standard XP theme don't work too!)
Then now all is okay!... but my Windows have Windows 3.11 look !
(Bill... where's Bill??... oh "gush"... he's retired
)
Thanks Steve!
Best Wishes,
Jacques
