This "options window" problem hasn't disappeared,
LW 2.3.3 Pro has it and only(?) the Techno font still works for me as a workaround.

Do any Mac OS systems NOT have the problem with LW 2.3.3Pro ?

Hello Everyone-

I was finally able to reproduce the problem on my machine -- sorrry it took us so long. I also identified the culprit that made everything break in the code, and I should have it fixed with the next release.

Just to quickly note -- it's unfortunately not quite as simple as just making the options screen bigger, as there are fonts of many different sizes that would still not work with the larger options screen. So, it really does have to be sized dynamically according to the font size.

Thanks, and sorry again for the frunstration with this.

After bitching about it here, I had the brilliant idea (finally) of changing the system font. I usually use Sand for my system font and the window would be cut off. If you use Charcoal, you can set your options and then revert to your favorite font.

My only disappointment is that a couple of others beat me to the solution!

Everyone will be happy to know that this is fixed in LimeWire 2.4.0, which should be released by the end of this week. Apologies to everyone again for the inconvenience.

Best,

I can confirm that this has been solved in 2.4.1 (downloaded yesterday). Again useful wide options screen. Thank you.

Good work overall. I have not had any problem (aside from the options screen) in several months of use, on a PBG3/400 running 9.0.4 and 9.1.

Best,
Lake

Glad to hear it's working for you now. My sincere apologies to everyone that it took so darn long to fix!

I tried changing the font to techno and it only changed the font on the top of the window, nothing inside the window. Any other suggestions?

With LimeWire 2.4.x and above, you should be able to use any font as your system font, and the screen will size accordingly.
