Can the owner of Account_{WCG}.XML maybe greatly shorted the text of the button "People For A Smarter Planet" to something under 18 chars --- you're causing all the other buttons to chop for most users (real smart).
It's a button, not a bumper sticker. Probably shouldn't be SIG soap box linking inside of Boinc anyhow. |

Good catch, i wondered what was making the button's go off the side of the manager!
Can someone fix this? pretty please. |

Hi 52 Aces,
----------------------------------------PS, seems your deck guarantees you always win ;-) edit: does not make a difference. The file is pulled from WCG and updated with each server contact. Looks though fine here:

We will modify it shortly when we can figure out how to shorten the name.

WinXP Windows Classic Theme, XP style, Normal font size gives this same issue for Advanced View of the Boinc Manager.
I don't want to shrink my system fonts just so I don't have to see a scroll bar when the web access panel of BM is active. How about 'Smarter Planet'? Or make the button taller and wrap the words: People for a smarter planet meh- it's all just piddly stuff. No real complaint. |

Hmm... looking at the Boinc Manager Advanced view in 5.10.30, the 'People for a Smarter Planet' button is there, too, but there is no issue with the width.
Perhaps the 'commands' and 'websites' side panel was accidentally shifted to a narrower size during the upgrading. The side panel width is not user adjustable. :( |
