Layers setting dialogue box window

Hello
I work mainly from my laptop and have a 23" screen @ work and a 21" screen @ home to give me more real estate. I am a huge fan of the new "Work Environment" in AC9 and have a pallette layout set up for each work scenario. One thing that consistently keeps happening to me though is that the Layers Settings dialogue box does not get resized to automaticly fit it which ever environment I'm working in.

For example: I'm working on the 23" screen and open up the layers settings and stretch it out to the bottom of the screen so I can see as much as possible w/out scrolling. Later on at a meeting, I'm working from just my laptop. When I open up the layers settings, the window is elongated off my laptop screen so I can't see or chose any of the buttons on the lower portion of the window.

Is there a way to resize this window and if not - can it PLEASE be made so in future updates!

Thanks, Tom

I would like to add one more thing - The status bar seems to not behave quite properly for me in regards to saving pallette schemes. It doesn't always get moved to it's proper location. I mostly have issues when moving from a larger screen to a smaller screen. Sometimes the windows and pallettes get left where they might be visable on the bigger screen, but are off in space on a smaller screen. Thus they are gone forever until I get back to the bigger screen.

If you have an Nvidia graphics card you can use Nview to set up the display settings you need for each program on each monitor. Other graphics cards may be programable too. I don't know. I agree with you that it should be something you can tweak with ArchiCAD settings.
