That said, when I was designing this tool, this thought did come into my mind. The catch is, many of the GUI elements are built dynamically. Based on the number of LMT modules present, the GUI populates the UI accordingly. I chose a fixed size, because I did not want the options too cluttered because of a very small window size. But I see the problem other way around too, as in your case. What is your suggestion ? I guess I should remove the "fixed" size bit, and let the users resize it to their needs. I'll do that soon.
