Winbox window won't scale for small (netbook) displays

Tue May 12, 2009 11:11 pm

Hi all,

Just a quickie. I had occasion to use Winbox on my eeePC and came across a problem. Because the display is small and Winbox is big, I couldn't get to the 'tools' menu down the left hand side.

The Winbox window doesn't have any scrolly-bars, so it simply wasn't possible to do what I wanted to do in Winbox. As it happens, it was just a quick check I needed to do, so I did it from the CLI, but....

What happens next time I need to look at graphs/stats/usage etc.? Is there any way of getting to the entire Winbox menu?

Cheers,

Nick.

^seconded, I use on an eeepc and similarly have problems accessing all of the menu items, resorting to terminal works but it's annoying not to be able to use them as intended.

Yup.

I cannot access the IP->IPSec settings always.....

Make it a second menu for the second tier options. Add a scrollable window.

In download section "Winbox configuration tool 2.2.14"

pardon me for asking what may possibly be obvious, but have you also made sure the popout menus either shrink or double up in some way?

Currently they just overflow outside the winbox window which means that even if the main window now fits, we won't be able to access some of the menu items.

anyone willing to test this new small winbox, can ask support for a pre-release version of v3.25 in exchange for bugreports :)
