Label size/alignment on screens
 
Does anyone else experience similar graphic problems as these? Where labels next to input/check boxes are cut off or out of position/size entirely? Boxed in red. 1920x1080 primary monitor and 1600x1200 secondary; issue happens on either screen. Windows 7 x64. Not entirely sure if things have "always" been this way or not, as I've only recently resumed a heavy interest in MUDing past idling and chatting, to where I would need to poke about in menus and such.

I have the same problem I read somewhere that it's because of the DPI and LCD screens or something like that.
I changed my font DPI that helps a little but not all the way so it still cuts off some.

Click the Start button, and choose Control Panel. NOTE-- if Control Panel is not visible, choose Settings, then choose Control Panel from the submenu .
Double-click on the Display icon.
Click the Settings tab at the top.
Click the Advanced button at the bottom.
Click on the DPI Setting, and change it to Normal Size (96 dpi).
Click OK.

if anyone has a better fix that would be great :) cause it is annoying.

Nope, not me. Do you perhaps have large fonts (I believe it's a windows feature) turned on?

Ah, the default for Windows 7 on my laptop is 125% larger display items in general. Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization -> Display. Both the display as a whole and fonts are 125% size by default. It wants to me reboot to try scaling to 100% (but I don't want to reboot yet :)) so I'll give that a try later. Although it would be nice if cMUD would play nicely with global scaling settings like that, as I think how the rest of my OS looks is just fine ATM.
