instabuttons help ?

[yorky]

hi, i'm having a problem when try to resize the hoster main screen.i've been getting this message "too many instabuttons defined".i'm running hoster version 5.40.01 and it says i can use up to 99 instabuttons,and when i have more than 10 instabuttons i get this error message and then i have to delete some of them and cut them to 10 or less.

any help with this?

The top row of instabuttons just to the right, do you see a small + character ?
Try dragging it to the right as far as it will go. Can you now resize the screen ?

If not try taking a screen shot and attaching it to your post.

thanks for the help.i tried what you suggest already without fixing it.i do have the + caracter and i try moving right,and still the same problem.i tried to attached a picture of this error but could'nt upload it.the upload failed

Bit of a job to tell what's happening without the screen shot but try this:
Click the Full screen icon next to the X, when your playlist is full screened, how far across the screen do the instabuttons go ?
And how many lines is it displaying ?
And is the little + character at the far right of the screen ?

I attach 2 screen shots, 1 full screen and 1 narrow.

Do your instabuttons span right across like in the attachments ?

i uploaded a screenshot.i hope its easier to understand

One thing I would suggest, can you abbreviate the button names short as possible. This will help somewhat.

If you click OK then select the full screen icon next to the X does it go full screen ?

If so does the + symbol go all the way to the right.
If not drag it right. Close Hoster and re open then restore back to narrow, does it still give the error ?

What is your screen resolution set to ?

Also is the DPI set higher than 100% ?
That setting is shown in attachment.

yeah if i press yes i can select the full screen
but if i try to resize the screen the error comes back again.
resolution is 1366 x 768.and the dpi is all the way to the left like in the
picture you sent me.
the + goes all the way to the right if i drag it
but if i restart hoster i get the same error

[Roy Dennis]

The only thing I can suggest is untick enough instabuttons till it allows you to resize without the error. Then size the screen to what you want.
Close Hoster and re start it, If the screen opens as you last set it then it's consistent, now add the instabuttons back by ticking the boxes gradually and trying a few at a time.


Alternately, double click the header bar of the playlist to hide the instabuttons, then size playlist then re activate instabuttons.

But I would try shortening the button names best you can.

Other than that I should put in a support ticket.

I've had 99 Instabuttons defined for a couple of years and I don't have any problems with what you describe.

The only time I've ever seen Hoster do this is, when it opens minimized. As soon as I maximize it and pull the + sign to right the side, I have no more problems...
