BigOven

 Hi!

Oh, I am still in love with BigOven!!! I do find a few things that I hope you are going to fix. For this subject I

did research your forums and wasn't really sure if I was on the same page as the others. I do use Vista in

case you needed to know that.

When I open your BigOven program, I have two choices in size. Either filling my whole screen or clicking on

the middle button each time, to make it smaller but not the size I want it. Is there a way to fix this? Most programs

will allow you to drag the borders and insides to where you want them and then when you close the program using

the X in the upper right corner, it will save that size until you change it. But I can't get that to work on BigOven and

it's frustrating. I'm hoping that maybe there is another way to do this because I like to have other things visible while

using BigOven without having to click on the Window's Status bar buttons. And I use another program that puts an

Object bar at the bottom which I am then forced to close to use BigOven. Please tell me there is or that it's in the work?

How often do you do updates? 

Another thing, so many times I want to shorten the name when talking about your great program but BO just sounds

rather unpleasant, lol. We have to come up with something better, lol. Maybe slipping "The" at the beginning, making it

then TBO? Hmmmm, maybe that would work, The Big Oven! Ok, I have to stay serious but you're so nice in always 

answering questions I've laid on your plate and I've laid quite a few! Thank you for being so patient and helpful, people

like you are in short supply any more after people spend even harder to get money due to the economy but yet so many

companies seem to forget that. But you don't and I applaud you for that.

Ok, I'm sorry, I digressed. I tend to use 50 words when I talk when only 5 are necessary! 

So, is there a way to resize the outside size of the screen AND the inside boundaries of the working screen too is my

basic question.

Thank you!

 Hi Shar,

Thanks so much for your kind comments! 

We do free upgrades fairly regularly, and can look into this, but to be perfectly honest this particular request, re: the resizing of the screen one touches so many parts of the code that I'm unsure we'll be able to tackle it any time soon.  We've made certain "minimize screen size" decisions in the design of the program that it's fairly tricky to change.  But we'll put it on the list and take a look.

Interesting idea on "the" -- right now, we prefer that people use "BigOven", one word, no space.  (Hopefully 7 letters isn't too much .)

Thank you very much for letting me know about the resizing, no use in hoping for things that aren't gonna happen!

As for the seven letters to type, you are SO right and I now realize that I have been sucked into today's philosophy of always looking for a quicker way to do things, like sacrificing a name to use letters in it's place. Shame on me! Pretty soon, we'll be sitting at the Thanxgiving table and Uncle Charlie  will tell one of his typical jokes that isn't funny, just embarrassing and a bunch of us will be saying " L-O-L" while trying not to roll our eyes! But if someone would actually tell a funny joke, some of us will be on the floor, gasping for air and saying "R-O-F-L".  Geez, will it actually come to that? I hope not but you just never know!

Thanx again for answering so quickly!

Shar
