    Hi Jeff!

    As a html-visu could be entered by different devices there is also the problem of the resolution of the screen:

    is there a possibility to "scale" the images with respect to the monitor-resolution?
    E.g. a Monitor has 1024x748, another monitor has 1280x1024, so it would be fine, if the visu-picture (background-image + controll-images) could be scaled th the propiate resolution

    greetings from Austria

      Hi,

      I'm also interested if there are any possibilities to scale objects that are drawn or are they of fixed size....

      Also, are there any additional images available ?

      Thanks in advance,

      regards,

      bulek.

      Hi,

      It's not possible to scale a complete design actually. The absolute position in pixels of all controls are stored in design.xml file. Of course, it would be possible to adapt the size and position of everything dynamically, but I prefer to create different designs adapted for the screen size of each device. And most "small-screen" devices (PDA, ipod touch, symbian phones, ....) have this zooming function built-in.

      About the size of  the controls, they were all hard-codedat the beginning. I tried to remove the hard-coded values as much as possible, but some controls (e.g. dimmer) still contain hard-coded values. For other controls like switch, using bigger or smaller pictures should do the job.

      Regards,

      Jean-François

        Hi,

        some user mentioned ctrl+ in Mozzila to get icons bigger and it works quite ok, although when icons get bigger they get invisible when they get out of borders...

        If it's possible to circumvent that problem (if borders would be automatically expanded) this feature will suffice for now...

        Jeff, can you please just point me,where can I fix those hardcoded values regarding size of border... I'll fix that for the rest of controls.

        Regards,

        Bulek.

      @bulek
      i can zoom as much as i want and now icons get out of borders.
      but my suggestion only works with ie7, firefox3 and chrome2...they support full-page-zoom. its a relative new feature which older browser doesnt support.
      regards

        Aha, spot the problem. I had a tick for "zoom text only"...

        Thanks for the tip...

        Bulek.
