This screen size is pretty common for consumer notebooks.\nHere are some examples:\n1. The hotkey dialog (at least on it is scrollable).  The hotkey list dialog could be changed to a two column layout. But at least the minimum size should be so that it can be resized to fit on a netbook.\n2. Another example is the \"visibles\" list in gerbview and pcbnew, which can't be displayed completly and isn't even scrollable.\n3. The buttons in the toolbars to the left and to the right are to large. There should be a possibility to split a toolbar in two parts, or to let the user rearrange the buttons in the toolbars (a good example is libreoffice). Another option could be to offer a toolbar item to show the not-displayed buttons (again look at libre office to see what I mean).\n\nI think the UI design should be made so that it is at least possible to work on a netbook screen with 1024x600 resolution. Working on such a resoulution may be a PITA, but there should at least be the possibility to do so. And not only netbooks have these small resolutions, but also beamers."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/marekr/kicad-issue-test/issues/comments/162468771","html_url":"https://github.com/marekr/kicad-issue-test/issues/373#issuecomment-162468771","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/marekr/kicad-issue-test/issues/373","id":162468771,"user":{"login":"marekr","id":1838013,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1838013?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/marekr","html_url":"https://github.com/marekr","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/marekr/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/marekr/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/marekr/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/marekr/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/marekr/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/marekr/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/marekr/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/marekr/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/marekr/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-12-07T10:00:57Z","updated_at":"2015-12-07T10:00:57Z","body":"(by kvasina)\nIn my opinion KiCad being free or not has nothing to do with how usable it should be. \n\nMy argument was that Kicad should not have problems on common laptops (1366x768) because this is what most students bring to Kicad course. Last time I checked it on a machine with 1366x768, there was a scrollbar in the Hotkey List and I could not find anything else that would not fit display. I would say this is resolved. \n\nI am not concerned with smaller products (netbooks, PDAs etc). \n\n"}}
