Title: Drop down boxes
Post by: DWBergmann on November 13, 2017, 08:15:55 PM

I have noticed on my computer that the drop down boxes for the effects settings do not appear next to the box.  Theys seem to randomly show up in different locations on the screen.  Some of them are below the screen.  Not sure if I have an issue with the display settings on my computer.  Is there a screen resolution that works best?

I have added two screen shots.  The first one is one a single screen the second one is where I have xLights extended across two different screens.  In this second case I had to resize the window to be able to see the drop down.  It is going below the program by quite a bit

Hmm...we don't control where those things pop up.  What OS are you on and what xLights version?

Windows 10 is my OS.  XLights 64 version 36.  It also happened on version 32

I think its your computer.  Is it by chance a laptop?  Laptops are famous for having graphics quirks like that.  Even my laptop I bought to travel for the xLights seminar's won't show things like the splitter bars in the correct spot when I go to drag them.  It draws them like an inch higher and I can't find any way to fix it.  Keith said he's seen a similar thing on one of his laptops.

Yes it is a laptop.  That’s all I have now.  They are powerful enough for all my needs.  I am using a plugable USB docking station for my extre monitors.  I think I will check the drivers for it to see if it helps. I will also check the laptop display drivers to see if it helps as well.
