Re: XY Full Screen in XP

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

Fred,



What's the problem with what you're seeing? Looks pretty good to me. I'd
go rather for black on white, though. Is the desire to have Xy take over
every single bit of screen space a little overdone? Xymegalomania? After
all, it's not that you're getting less Xy, just more something
else.









Sorry for the double post; forgot to include
the JPG screenshot . . .

 Fred, from your tiff file, XP looks like it's running in window
view, rather than in fullscreen view, under VMware (based on some other
screenshots of OSX/VMware/XP I saw online -- to be honest, I don't really
know what I should be seeing). Just guessing, but have you tried putting
XP into fullscreen view first before trying to launch XyWrite fullscreen
or toggle Xy fullscreen using alt+enter? I'm wondering if there might be
some issue with trying to run fullscreen DOS on a windowed XP under
VMware.



If VMware and XP with Xy remains a problem, could you use VMware to run
DOS (no XP -- FreeDOS maybe) and Xy and get satisfactory
results?
 

Paul,



You are correct in your reading of the TIFF; XP is running in maximized
window view there. Excellent suggestions, thank you. I have not taken the
time to build another VMWare module using DOS yet; will take that one on
later today (possibly). As for running XP full screen, I tried that,
without appreciable difference in the XY appearance, full screen. I
enclose a JPG screenshot to show the largest width I have been able to
attain in XP full screen with XY in maximized window. I got this
appearance by choosing a larger font (Lucida 24), which did
"stick" through repeated sessions; attempting to enlarge the
width parameter would not "take." Why not XY full screen
(alt-enter invocation)? Because that gives me a miniaturized XY centrally
located in a sea of black. By the way I have XY's display set to white on
black so that is normal for me.
