Bigger Icons?

Post by billy_bragg » Wed Oct 22, 2008 7:42 pm

I have a user who makes use of a touch screen with Macro Scheduler. Is their ANY way to enlarge the icons on the Macro Scheduler task bar(s)? Thanks in advance.

Do you have "Large Buttons" selected? Look under "View" on the main menu.

... Oops... I should have mentioned I was looking for bigger Icons in the "Advanced Editor" window. Thanks!

Hi billy_bragg,

Ahh... so you're asking for a "Large Toolbar Buttons" option in the Editor.

I second this request.

I don't know how many folks out there use a touch screen... but the more devices MS can easily be used on, the better.

I use Large Toolbar Buttons on the main screen and would probably use them in the Editor as well if I had the option. It just makes it a little easier/faster to move to and click the buttons.... especially before that first morning cup of coffee.

So Marcus, has this made it onto your official wish list? Christmas isn't that far away...

P.S. Great job on the code folding and bookmark features in the 11 beta. I would encourage everyone who can to download the beta, give it a good test and report any problems during the beta period.

(Even) larger icons would help out with adaptive hardware (head-stick) that users with mobility impairments make use of.

The abolute beauty of Macro Scheduler in these situations is it cuts down on the number of key-strokes for common task (e.g. enter user Ids, firing up software, repetitive coding... I'll stop here)
