Hi AHK Community,
Just downloaded the AmT GUI and have been experiencing this weird resizing of the GUI for some reason. All of the text is all crammed up and it doesn't seem to be possible to manuaally resize the GUI window. Have any of you guys experienced anything similar?
best regards

Re: the AutomateMyTask GUI weird resizing of the window
I did not try the script, but this is sometimes what will happen with a poorly designed GUI that does not accommodate various displays or DPI. It is generally simply a series of coding errors as the GUI is built in the script. It may also include errors in coding how resizing occurs, but I generally find in this situation that the coder is not accommodating a different display (monitor). When I see this, I typically steer clear of the software, wondering what else went wrong in the program and awaits discovery.

Perhaps a Windows display scaling problem?

One solution in GUI design is using relative positioning rather than absolute positioning of controls. Two examples are below.
Code: Select all
Gui, Font, s10
Gui, Add, Checkbox, x10 y10, Check1
Gui, Add, Checkbox, x10 y15, Check2
Gui, Show
Code: Select all
Gui, Font, s10
Gui, Add, Checkbox,, Check1
Gui, Add, Checkbox,, Check2
Gui, Show
