You like the image scaled to the window created; I like the > original dimensions, unscaled. I do too but thats a little tricky. Actually with the resizing you have in now, since the original window is initially displayed so close to the actual comic dimension, the resizing isnt even noticeable.. I like it.. Interestingly, the comic windows look vertically offset a tad on my win2k machine, but the windows look perfectly tight on my XP machine.. Not enough to worry about though.. looks fine.. > While we're about it, we should throw in a > list of daily preferred comics, so I don't have to type them on the line > (Yes, I do remember localaliases.txt). heehee aliases are your friend!... > What about title bars?

Nah its not worth all that.. it works great as it is.. and since the defaults have now been moved inside a case statement, it makes it easier to add other sites later on.. I like the package as it is now, with your latest resize mods.. Unless you object I would like to check it in..

I dont think the comic dimensions are going to be any different, (with the exception of the "joy of tech" and "User Friendly") but the window is tighter around them, which is nice.. Any skew in the display dimensions and the actual dimensions on the webpages are going to still exist... but I dont think its ever enough that the comic is hard to read..

Re: [DQSD-Users] RE: Comx update: properly sized windows
Most of the time the images were only resized a few pixels.. For some reason the Joy of Tech comic that was added uses a pic size that is so small, it is basically unreadable on my machine.. When I was working on comx, I labored to try to find a way to fetch the image dimensions before pulling the image down to have a window that opens to 100% of the contents. Basically it can't be done. The only way to do it was to fetch the image, open the window, place in the image, and then resize the window to fit it. I had this working but that window resizing method was really ugly with the window flashing up and slinging to a new size, especially when 5 or six comics were solicited. This is why I went to the method of setting a fixed size for the weekday comics, and another for the Sunday version. Did you mean to attach a modified comx search? or did you already check in the modified version? Sourceforge appears to be having troubles.. I cannot get in to check to see..
