Using map in IBOT

06/19/2011 23:04 STEELYJOE#1
Please help. I have installed all of the necessary map files that are available. However I have a problem when viewing the map with IBOT, in every sector it shows the full map image, however it does not fit properly in the grid. Both the right side, and around the bottom it is a blank blue area. What can I do to make it show up properly and fill the whole square? I have provided a simple diagram below.

P = Picture of Map
B = Blank Blue Screen

I actually figured out how to make the map look normal, but I don't like the look of the rest of the bot when I do it as it makes the other text not fit on the screen. It's related to the DPI settings on Windows 7. There are 2 ways that I figured out how to fix it;
OPTION #1
a. Right click blank area of desktop
b. Click screen resolution
c. Click "Make text and other items larger or smaller"
d. Set DPI to: Smaller - 100%
e. Logout and log-in to Windows again. Check iBOT maps. Works great.

OPTION #2
a. Follow steps 1a -> 1d (shown above)
b. Click "Set custom text side (DPI)"
c. Untick box "Use Windows XP style DPI scaling"
d. Logout and Log-in to Windows again.

Both kind of work, but not to my satisfaction. I am going to write Mr. IBOT and see if I can get him to add some setting option into the program to account for this. Hopefully it is possible.
