Easy Box Maker 3.4 Small Text in config window

Post by rwebcon »

Just installed Easy Box Maker V 3.4. The in-configuration window the text it very small I can barely make it out. Any way to make the text bigger in the configuration window so I can read it? Sent message to developer but no responce.

I have found that Changing my Display Screen Resolution helps with the sizing of the gadget and its Text.

What is a comparable Text Size that would please Everyone?

I do not know what to suggest here as far as Text Size goes but whatever it is now could be doubled at least so you can read it. To go to all the work to develop the Gadget and not be able to read the test is a shame. I’m running V12 of Aspire just standard settings so there must be other users with the same problem. How would something like this be missed as a problem. Great tool if I can use it.

Just a note I use other software and reducing screen resolution is not going to work for me

I will get with developer and see if that may be a way to go with the Gadget.

Depends on your Windows setup more than anything. I run 100% scaling on an 3440x1440 ultrawide 34" display and the text is easily readable on that gadget. With the same settings on a 17" screen I would expect it to be unreadable.

I have posted a new version of the Easy Box Maker Gadget Ver 3.5. This version has controls for the display scaling. See images below.

Let me know if you want / need me to add this function to other easy gadgets.

It installed and worked fine for me.

After installing gadget did you close Aspire then restart Aspire before trying the gadget? If so then we will need more information as to your process of install through to when you achieve that error message. Definitely looking to help solve the Problem Issue so that you can get on with using the Gadget.
