Hi All

Just playing around with EWB V2.  Very easy to use although I have not done much yet.  

Some questions:

I know you can run the project in a embedded browser from within the IDE.
Is there a way to run it in a external browser window, without having to open the project folder and run
the HTML file?

Looking for a simple tutorial to change the color of a button?

Thanks

Just type in the following address:

http://localhost/<appname>.html

from any external browser.

I am using EWB 2 on my laptop with a 15" screen.  The icons on the component toolbar are quite small.  Do
they get bigger on a larger screen?

Hi Tim

Attached is a screenshot.  Project treeview could be a bit bigger to fill surrounding area.

These are just minor suggestions that do not affect the use of the product.  I suppose most people nowadays
use much bigger screens.

I brought this up when I used to use a 1024x768 screen (IIRC), and you
are right that most people use bigger screens. Me, I upgraded to a new
screen, and more recently bigger still (I have two, but like to develop
on the smaller one for some reason...). Anyway, a laptop user can't
change so easily, but perhaps could use an external. The icons
themselves do not get bigger - and to do so would be a 2.1 or later
change I suspect. More important things to do.

But it does raise an interesting thought - could the IDE have a "design
mode" where the current designer and the component toolbar are the only
things visible. All the screen, just layout. Hmm, except you'd want the
property inspector, but that could float perhaps.  Anyway, it is a fair
issue, but it is also not easy to fix. I keep thinking that Visual
Studio is too busy in its panels, but I'd not want to remove any of
them.

Just for information I use a 1366 x 768 resolution.

I think I went up to 1080 vertically to get a much better experience.
I'm now on 1200 vertically.

Oh, and don't try a 4K monitor without very careful testing, and never
with another non-4K monitor alongside. Windows 8.1 just can't hack it
at the moment.

Godfrey,

The extra space is for indicating the full path/name of the project file
being selected in the treeview.  The general idea is that one should be able
to get all of the information that they need about what/where everything is
in the main view without having to drill down to other dialogs.  So, the
same principle applies to the Object Inspector and the DataSet Manager.
