can't get my icons smaller again

nicenac —Sat, 01/17/2009 - 15:14

Hi, I just upgraded to the newest 2.22b FD, and now i can't seen to make my icons smaller than 100x75, and since i'm using a 17x10 matrix on a CRT 17 inch monitor, a whole lot of icons are "a tediously long scroll away", from each other.

And my icons are also much blurryer then before.

thanks for the help.

If it would be the case, how can I downgrade to a more suiting version? (I guess the one i was using before was 2.9)

thanks in advance.

PS: Not to worry, I'm still a FD-groupy...

All right now, I've backup using FEBE and installed FD 2.9. (I'm using a newer java version now, but i guess it'll be O.K.) I have now 11x10 thumbs running on 65x48.75, and everything seems to be fine... I still get some weird bugs whenever I try to get a newer add-on and will try to, using the wonderful FEBE, renew my firefox with small bits of restore at a time...

thank you guys so much for all the help. now that i know how to handle more than one profile, I'll try to always check on the new FD version, in search of the features i need.

If you guys ever need anything, just ask. And if you ever come to Brazil, please give me a buzz.

Please be aware of this problem

Do you not mean 17 x 10 ?

Yes it would be interesting to see if you can get current Versions of Fast Dial running.
They have a lot to offer.
The add to Fast Dial Context Menu is now excellent as you can save to any Folder you want.
And Themes are really interesting to set up and use.

If you guys ever need anything, just ask. And if you ever come to Brazil, please give me a buzz.

Greetings to you and Brazil...

Many thanks

neither actually, I'm using 14x8 at 65x48,75 now...

will keep my eyes open on any java trouble, but for now i don't have any infinite refresh for my thumbs...

I do miss the context menu features but, i still need the space... Maybe when the new version gets java support i'll be able to migrate back to a newer version. Or i'll be able to fit about this size matrix on the new 22 inch i'll buy next month with the limit 100x75.... we'll see...

thanks so

good.
You'll know when it hits you :-)

Yes let us see how things go..

I think there is the strong possibility that there will be an improvement in the display of the Images in Fast Dial, that is independent of Java, which should be available fairly soon..

Many thanks
