Minimised Form Caption

Postby Michael.Duraj » Mon Mar 01, 2021 3:42 pm

Jade 2018 - Is it possible to increase the visible area of the form title bar when minimised ?
Looks like we now only get to characters of the forms caption when minimised...

Not something I've tried to change before, but I wonder if you could achieve the desired effect using a skin which has a bigger title bar/font, which you could potentially switch to/from when the form is minimised/restored.

I presume you mean the size of a minimized MDI Child form within the MDI Frame, as per the 5 minimized MDI child forms at the bottom of the MDI frame in the following screen shot?

If so, unfortunately I'm not aware of anything you can do to control the minimized size. If you have a support contract you could double check with Jade Support and update us here if you find out anything different.

As per my screen shot above, unfortunately a skin can actually make the issue worse. Especially if it has larger elements for the min/max/restore/terminate widgets, as I only see one character of the window title, not two characters, in the above screen shots.

Cheers,
