IainB,
Thanks for your detailed point of view. I'm not sure I get it completely, though. I understand your "philosophical" argument about the changing OS aesthetics. However, it seems to me that's a separate issue from the one I raised, which is much more basic.
To put things bluntly, as they appear on my screen,
SC (Screenshot Captor) and
CHS (Clipboard Help & Spell) are downright unusable. Windows 7 GUI is perfectly all right for me, and the combination of OS + OS settings works perfectly for me with practically all software I come across.
I recently checked on an old piece of software I used to like very much, it's a project manager called
Twiddlebit Plan, which was created for... Psion PDAs, and Nokia phones with a screen, before smartphones were invented. It also had a Windows version. Now that was perfectly usable with Windows ME, and whatever low-res CRT I had at the time, but with modern resolutions, some parts of the UI are too small to read by now (although not all of them).
But this is legacy software. It can't be expected to work nowadays.
SC and
CHS are current.
So I'm curious to know : do all other users see
SC's main window the way I see it ? (Attachment in my former post.) Do they see, as I do, a regular-sized menu line, with
File, Edit, Capture, Scan... and below, two checkboxes marked
Thumbnail Panel and
AutoFit in a much, much smaller font ?
And if yes, is that the expected behaviour of the software, or is it me, i.e. I need to change something in my Windows 7 settings, for instance ?
The
File, Edit, Capture... line is perfectly OK. The
Thumbnail Panel and
AutoFit line (again, as they appear on my screen) kills the software for me.
And I would love to find a workaround, because I was desperate to find something like
SC, the guys at
Daves Computer Tips pointed it to me, and I can't believe what it can do
