I'd like to change the size of the tab where you can choose the groups, you want to search in. The display is much to short and I cannot identify which group I have selected.
An implemantation of that feature would much appreceated. Thx.

Not sure I understand this one, you can already resize it with the drag handle to the right of the box(es).
Edit: oops, you mean the actual Newsgroups tab?
Edit2: er, or maybe not, I'm giving up until you clarify ....
-
Ich I choose, for example the "newsleech"-tab I have a small box with alt.binar in it and a listing of all groups in it. I have a handle to drag the box larger, but it doesn't work. And I'd like that handle to work ;) I hope that clarifies what I mean.

It does work. You have to grab the line somewhere in the middle of the control.

Make sure you're dragging the one on the *right* of the box - the darker grey line. The cursor should change to <-||-> when you hover over it.
Edit: sorry, grey with Silver theme. It's not so visible with Blue theme, but it's there ...
-
Ok, I'll try, when I'm at home. The cursor changed, but I couldn''t change the size of the box, but I'll try later. Thx for your answers.

Hm, ok, I've tried again, but it still doesn't work. I download the version again and try after reinstalling.
-
I can't get it to work either...
-
OK, try this: drag the groups bar down to a new line, then try to resize and move it back up.
-
I've tried that already. doesnt't work in other lines with much space to right and doesn't work either after reinstall. :(
-
Well, this is a mystery, I've just tried again with a fresh install and it works OOB. Time to press the Rdl Activation Button, methinks ...

I tried that too... Didn't work for me either...

Not helpful.

serously...... it's not rocket science,
mouse over the bar in the red circle
the cursor will change to the 'horizontal resize cursor' ... then resize it to your liking.

I'm quite aware of this feature and how it works. This isn't the first windows application that I've ever used...
Yes I get the <-||->, but the resizing doesn't work.
The only item that will resize - on any tab- is the "Filter subjects" dialog box.
This problem makes it impossible to do various things like select groups in the search tabs or select RSS urls on the RSS tab.

Anything out of the ordinary regarding themes, fonts, size?

Yes.
The words Download, Cleanup, Schedule, Shutdown and Versions are cut off on the sides on the top bottons. Queue size also seems to be cut off (on the left side) at the bottom - the speed graph seems to be covering up the first character (number).
I don't know if that was what you were looking for....
Other than that (besides the issue with resizing) everything looks great.
-
So something is different from default in windows regarding themes/fonts/size. So I need to know what in order to reproduce it and fix it. Or you could save your current setting go back to default and try then to resize box. Or edit directly config file
-
have you set your windows display to 96dpi ?
if yes set it to the normal size and try to resize again, then set it back or not^^

Yes. Font size was changed from Default scale (96 DPI) to Larger scale (120 DPI). This app is being used on a HTPC so Font size is an issue (the larger the better when sitting 8 to 10 ft from the screen).
I changed the Font size back to Default and that fixed both issues (resizing and text being chopped off). I resized the group pull downs etc. while i was in Default scale. When I went back to Larger scale, the resizing was still in place and I'm now able to use those drop down boxes (resizing of course no longer works). This works for a temporary work around.
Also note that the Queue size being cut off by the speed graph was also fixed by changing font back to default. Going back to Larger scale of course screwed that up again.

Support for > 96dpi (which is what this request has now become) would be handy for running Alt.Binz under wine, too - everything's so titchy. ;)
-
Resizing bug is fixed.
-
Speedgraph is also fixed.
Toolbar buttons are fixable via language file.
