Title: wallboard page sizes
Post by: mudcow007 on May 22, 2008, 17:36:57

hello all

we are struggerling with the size of the wallboard. we are wanting to run the wallboard to a 37" widescreen monitor mounted on the wall however, because of the way the wallboard is designed through html/ java the monitor is only showing on half of the screen

is there a way to increase the size of the cells within the tables? so they go right across the screen

i have already increased the size of the fonts (the easy bit!)

many thanks Danny

Can you show a screenshot of what is going on? Which browser are you running?

At the moment column widths are in compiled-code, so they cannot be changed. Could you reduce the sreen resolution so thnat it appears larger?

righto, we have changed the resolution to 1024x768 so now the display is "full screen" however, a small thing is although its nice to see when then screen is being refreshed, is there a way to remove the clock and scroller?

the reason for this is that with the resolution being so low now there hardly any room for the queues

hmmm....  you should set the CSS element orologio to visibility: hidden or whatever that is in CSS. :) Do not change the HTML code because the page needs DHTML access to all of the elements.

thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

if i set visibility to hidden the clock and scroller does disappear but the queue information still wont go up (does that make sense?!) (http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c81/mudcow007/screendump3.gif)

i have been playing around with, if i remove #titolo. Then at the top of the screen goes blank so i should then be able to use  alignment in #scroller  to move the queue information up

however the top: 0px; has no effect moving the queue information up

i know its probably something really stupid that i have missed!

thanks all :)

You can try making #titolo invisible as well. That should be it.
