"ACARS window"
Posted by vgbaron on 01-04-02 at 02:27z
Ben -

I finally figured what's wrong with the ACARS window. The actual ACARS screen is a fixed size but it's displayed in a popup window with scroll bars, borders, etc. May I suggest a dialog type winbdow with just a close button -no scroll bars, no resizing - doesn't make any difference anyway to the actual ACARS screen - it just sits at the upper left hand corner.

Hi Vic

Mine arrives at the upper right and I have to drag it to the left to get at the close button.

What's this for anyway?

Sounds like you're using a resolution less than 1024 x 768

ACARS is an instant messager (you can send instant messages to anyone on the system).

Hi Ben

You're right. Due to my elderly feeble eyesight I keep my desktop at 800x600. I suppose my 19" screen is getting small by the standards now being set :-(.

Instant messager. Right.....
