Eidogo.com board vs. high screen resolution

Post by Sneegurd »

Hi,

on eidogo.com, which I reckon many of you use: can you change the board size somewhere? On my 1920x1200 screen resolution, on 100% browser view it's very small - and of course gets unsharp if you use the browsers zoom capabilities...
I've seen theres a flash proof of concept board - but that is not in use.

Any ideas?

Could you post a screenshot showing what you mean by "very small"? I'm curious what it looks like for you.

It's small but perfectly usable on 2560 x 1440. Bigger would be nice of course but I find it fine really.

Yes of course:

That is 100% view in Firefox. It's my 1920x1200 full screen which is on a Lenovo 15" notebook screen.

The board gets unsharp, if you zoom:

I have a 1920x1080 monitor as well and I agree that it is a bit too small.

You could always lower your resolution while viewing it, i know thats stating the obvious.

Yeah, that is too small. Does it appear too small on these forums as well, or just on the eidogo.com website?

Edit: Looking through the player files, it doesn't seem like the images used for the board and stones are not high enough quality to support a simple change in board size. I'm playing around with modifying various things in the player; I can't guarantee I'll come up with anything but if I do I'll post it here.

Is it the resolution or the monitor size combined with the resolution? 1920x1200 is very unusual for a 15" monitor.
