In some cases our customers have monitors in which
EasyLobby windows appear too small to be comfortably
viewed, either because the monitor is too small or
because the screen resolution is not
optimum.
Under both these scenarios the pixel
density per square area has increased to a level where
it is not comfortable to view material on the screen. In
technical terms the screen has a large DPI-age. A number
in excess of 100 - 120 DPI results in a screen that is
difficult to read.
You can correct this problem
in the Windows operating system. However, it means that
EasyLobby, as well as all other programs, will be
resized. You may want to test it to see the effect in
other programs.
To apply the global
magnification, right click on an empty area of the
desktop and click on properties. Select the settings tab
in the menu and choose the advance button. Change the
DPI setting from Normal Size (96 DPI) to Large Size (125
DPI). Click OK. Follow the prompts. You can safely
select the option which does not require the Windows
install CD.
You will need to restart your
computer for this to take effect. Once restarted, the
new magnification will be in effect. The EasyLobby
individual Visitor Screens will increase to 800 x 620
from the normal size of 640 x 490. Look at the various
EasyLobby screens to be sure you can view them properly.
To revert to the old small version, repeat the process,
but select 96 DPI, or normal size.
You can also
apply a custom setting measuring tool, which allows you
to find out your monitor's optimum DPI. Under the DPI
setting, select custom setting, then drag the virtual
ruler with the mouse, and use an actual ruler to match
the virtual ruler with the physical ruler. When they
match exactly, click OK. Your monitor's exact DPI-age
(or pixel density per area square) will be automatically
calculated for you.

contact us if you have further
questions.
