I sent both Sherry and Cathy copies of both my Legacy 7.5 and Legacy 8 Pedigree screens.
You can see the differences here. In Legacy 8, I used exactly the same parameters that Cathy used, but with much different results. I would be delighted to have a Pedigree screen that looked like Cathy's as long as it doesn't require having such large fonts that the screens without Zoom options are humungous and that will allow me to use stretching.

Being unable to talk at the time, he was going to call back a couple of hours later, but I guess he got busy because he never did. I am hoping there is some solution to this conundrum, especially as I am not the only one.
