viewing screen

I usually make my screen view small... and when it goes to the next song it is large again, and I have to make it small... is that the way the new program works and if so.. I can I change that?

Thanks..

you need to give us more info on what your talking about.

when you say your screen, do you mean the desktop ?

If you are using the dual display (tv attached) for viewing this should not occur, however if you are just using your computer monitor then your stuck. - If there is a way around this I'd like to know.

Are you running with a dual-display card so you have one image on your computer screen (running Hoster) and the Singer's display on a TV screen?

If you are in dual-display mode, you can double click the full screen image and it will shrink to a window that you can resize. You can drag this wherever you like also. Some folks like it to shrink down after a song stops playing so they can have an add on the "desktop" that appears.

Or, are you runnng with a single-display so you have to share the Computer monitor with Hoster's control screen and the Singer's screen while a song is playing?

If you are in single-display mode, while a song is playing, you can double click it to shrink it to a smaller size you have adjusted before. Double clicking the smaller screen while playing will make it go back to a full-screen image.

All your resized and moved screens are persistent... meaning their dimensions and screen location are saved and are used when you run Hoster again, or when you play the next song.

Hope this helps. If not, give us more info on what you are trying to do.

I'm running out of my computer... and I double click to make the screen small on the first song... I would like it to stay small for the rest of the songs. It does not stay small it goes back to large. On the old version this did not happen. Do I need to adjust something? Thanks, Anita

what version of hoster are you running ??

[mindonstrike]

If Anita's problem is not supposed to be that way then I have the same problem. In single display mode every song change or restart requires double clicking to get back to the resized size and any time hoster is started the first song requires using the mouse to resize to a more usable size.
I'm using 2.212
If there is a setting were overlooking please let us know.
Thanks.
