Is anyone else having a problem with Seedcode Complete calendar sizing in Windows 8? Is there a fix or do I have to change many of the items on the layout?

Sorry. I should have explained better. I was relying on the pic to explain. The problem is that the calendar does not resize properly in Windows 8. Works fine on Mac through. Is there a way to make the calendar resize to fit in Win 8?

The calendar UI actually doesn't resize on Windows or Mac OS. The reason has to do with certain elements that wouldn't move correctly (e.g., the quarter circle shape behind the day numbers on month view), and general Web Direct compatibility. You can always pick up a copy of DayBack and integrate that into your copy of SeedCode Complete. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. -Jeff

On the Mac the main UI and calendar UI stay the same size and are not maximized. On Win8 it seems that both are maximized. Should I set a static window size? Thought I saw a setting for this but will check to make sure.

If you make the SeedCode Complete document window any larger than it needs to be, you'll see some "blank" space when you go to the calendar layout. This will be true whether you manually drag the document window larger, or hit the "maximize" button on Windows. It's only the calendar layout that doesn't resize. HTH -Jeff

Thanks for clearing that up Jeff. I see that the main FM window in Win8 does remember the last opened size. When I first ran the FM app it opened full screen which made SC/Calendar look strange. I didn't have to do this on the Mac. Now everything is fine with the new size.

Looks just as good in Win8 as it does in OSX. All of my solutions looked odd when going from OSX to WinOS mostly due to font choices. You guys have done a great job making the experience seamless in both environments. Thanks so much for your help. -Ken
