Cindy doesn't like to bigger size


(4:08:12 PM) Sandy: is there something i can do?
(4:08:23 PM) Me: For what?
(4:08:29 PM) Me: The about dialog?
(4:08:36 PM) Sandy: on my side to make the window look smaller
(4:08:38 PM) Me: Is there a problem with it?
(4:09:00 PM) Me: I don't know if the dimensions are controllable
(4:09:15 PM) Sandy: the about dialog from your export has the scroll bar
(4:09:24 PM) Sandy: it doesn't seem to look as good
(4:09:42 PM) Sandy: haha
(4:09:49 PM) Me: ...
(4:09:57 PM) Me: I just used what was in the repo to make a build
(4:10:12 PM) Sandy: thats waht i was thinking
(4:10:21 PM) Sandy: but not sure why exports differently
(4:10:27 PM) Me: Me either
(4:10:36 PM) Sandy: just that mine is xp and guees your winddows7
(4:10:58 PM) Me: Hmm, I don't remember if my remote machine is windows 7 or windows xp
(4:11:09 PM) Sandy: oh..
(4:11:17 PM) Sandy: but eclipse versions are different?
(4:11:25 PM) Sandy: mine 3.7
(4:11:46 PM) Sandy: sqeezing the text autamatically decreaded the size on mine
(4:11:53 PM) Sandy: decreased
(4:12:05 PM) Sandy: but appararently doesn't do the same on yours
(4:12:30 PM) Me: I'm not sure what you mean by "squeezing the text"
(4:12:48 PM) Sandy: haha
(4:12:58 PM) Sandy: breaking the longer lines
(4:13:21 PM) Me: Oh, you mean manually adding line breaks?
(4:13:24 PM) Sandy: the dialog box hugged the text" Cindy
(4:13:35 PM) Sandy: could try the line breaks
(4:13:55 PM) Me: I'm asking what is meant by breaking the longer lines
(4:14:15 PM) Me: Through an option or manually adding breaks?
(4:14:17 PM) Sandy: breaking means >br>
(4:14:30 PM) Me: Oh, you added <br> to the about text?
(4:14:39 PM) Sandy: no no
(4:14:44 PM) Sandy: try \n
(4:14:46 PM) Sandy: and see
(4:14:55 PM) Me: Well, I'm not remoted in right now
(4:15:14 PM) Sandy: k..
(4:15:19 PM) Me: And it is kind of a long process for something so minor...i don't know
(4:15:30 PM) Sandy: :)
(4:15:42 PM) Sandy: let me try and commit
(4:16:23 PM) Me: Let me see if there's a way to control the about text layout...could be a difference in eclipse versions, not sure.
(4:17:03 PM) Sandy: k..meanwhile i'll try the \n breaks
(4:18:47 PM) Me: I don't see anything in the official documentation here: http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/product_configproduct.htm
(4:21:00 PM) Sandy: hmm
(4:21:45 PM) Sandy: at one point the dialog was bigger
(4:22:02 PM) Sandy: and we tried to press enter between text
(4:22:11 PM) Sandy: and that made the dialog smaller
(4:22:27 PM) Sandy: but it does look smaller on my side
(4:22:33 PM) Sandy: and not the same when you export
(4:22:48 PM) Sandy: so was wondering if any line breaks would work at all
(4:25:22 PM) Me: I'm not sure
(4:26:04 PM) Me: I think there's one way you could increase the dialog size...
(4:26:22 PM) Sandy: we want to be able to decrease
(4:26:45 PM) Me: I'm so confused
(4:27:02 PM) Sandy: Cindy doesn't like to bigger size..
(4:27:10 PM) Me: I thought that in the image you sent, the image on the right was the one desired.
(4:27:10 PM) Sandy: so want to make it little bit smaller
(4:27:15 PM) Me: Cindy sent*
(4:27:53 PM) Me: Regardless, I think you may be to control the relative size somewhat by changing the size of the about image.
(4:28:04 PM) Me: may be able*
(4:29:02 PM) Sandy: the right side one is desired
(4:29:30 PM) Sandy: but the text needs to fot in the window without any extra space or scrollbars on the side
