    Default On Screen issue

    I can't see the bottom right hand corner to make the screen smaller (you know how you can just grab it and drag it up), Basically it's gone beyond the screen and I can't see it, tried grabbing (the corner)? Any quick tips, would like to minimise the screen. Thanks

    Press the green button at the top left - though this will depend on what Application you are using.

    It's my external hard drive window when it's open. It's extended too far down (on the screen) and I can't see the corner to drag up to min. There's no green button, they are all grey too, is that a problem? If so how do I fix that?

    Admin/Anthony, Why is my P blurrry???????

    Okay - Hit the green PLUS and it should resize Finder to the right size.

    Maybe you've had too much to drink? Though it's odd just to have blurry p when that happens!

    It's because the image has been scaled somewhere and it doesn't like it.

    There's no image (I've got that covered), would like my on screen problem fixed.

    Any advice, there's no green light here.

    I'm really struggling to get to grips with what the problem you have is... it's nearly midnight and I'm up at 5.30am!

    Can you post a screen shot?

    The "image" I was talking about was your Pink "P" It's an avatar and for that to be here it's a linked to image. If the image is bigger or significantly smaller it will be scaled to fit.

    *Edit*

    Seems I can help mid request for more information! Shows how good I am

    Perhaps you should seek medical help for your blurry p?

    Nah, I think it's kind of clear, apart from the P.

    Pink is apparently using the "Graphite" desktop theme (like me), which sports grey scrollbars and window buttons, instead of the toothpaste and traffic light coloured ones.

    The current interim forum skin will stretch avatars to fill the provided square. If you put your P into a square box and size it large enough it should come out fine.

    Cheers

    Probably not your Mac. Try shift-reload.

    Anthony, would you mind fixing my avatar so it looks better?

    After all, this is your site, so you are responsible for making sure everyones avatars arent blurry..

    And, can you fix my Custom User Title, as well? I typed it in perfectly, but your site fucked it up and now it doesnt look good.
