Re: iSeries Access and widescreen monitors

Years ago I took a bet that I could get a laptop talking to about a 42" TV that was sitting on the managers desk. it had about 20 inputs and no documentation. Of course I succeeded, but the first thing I put on it was a full screen sign-on in this font. Now THAT was scary!

It's an interesting look. Definitely takes getting used to. A bit scary looking....

Yep the standard font is the problem, very common issue.

1) Set the screen to normal (That is NOT maximized, you can't change
font when Maximized.)

2) Edit-> Preferences-> Appearance-> Font ->

3) Select the PComm Session font. Press OK. Now maximize.

HahZah! (Remember to save the session.)

When using the defaults in Client Access (iSeries Access, System i
Access, etc.), when the window is maximized on a widescreen monitor, the
text remains centered with blank space around the margins. I have been
playing with the font settings, etc. to try and find a way to allow the
text to be 'maximized' with the window for a more natural look, but I'm
not having much luck.



I have a user that is adamant that it be this way. Has anyone else been
able to figure this out?



We are using the latest version of System i Access.
