That is weird. It is pretty much the same as running a non-fullscreen skin and going fullscreen. What resolution are you running at? Have you tried to minimize/re-maximize just to see? Perhaps changing to the new skin, closing the app, re-launching it (non-maximized) and only then going maximiz

The SqueezePlay user interface doesn't scale well to anything close to full screen on a PC. I created an 800x480 skin a while ago to fit a car PC touchscreen, which worked fine. But with the purely list nature of the user interface, I can't imagine what you'd do with anything much larger. It would

Castalla... do you run Squeezeplay "maximized" ? I realised that if we set the launch option in windows to make the software run "maximized", that it will not be "re-sized" at its full size but only occupy it without resizing so most of the screen isn't being used. Its rather ugly. Might be what
