Ya know I was flying around last night last night looking for a way to do that and couldn't find it. I even went as far as to ask on 200 if it could be done, got 2 reply's that it couldn't, now seeing as I have never been led astray on 200 and not one person told me to hit Alt/f4 I took it as gospel.

Oh well, looks like I'm gonna be stuck with a big monitor, rats!!!!

GOt myself a new 24' widescreen recently myself.  Aside from it's size it has better resolution the the previous crap.......  It makes all the difference in the world!

Congrats Shamus!!!

That's a 42 inch? Have to ask...how big is that head blocking the center of the screen?   :lol  Looks to be a good 20 inches by itself...  :bolt:

They don't but I do...  :D  Come into the AvA for a while bud...it will clear those ugly red spots from your vision, might even improve your SA.  :neener:

thats what i have is a 42", the icons were still hard to read  even after changing the icon size, i will actually have to agree with grizz *this never happens* and wait till HTC fixes everything.

I hope they don't change much the next patches, I'm getting the best FPS I've had with AH in a while now thanks to 2.19, love the update (minus the server instabilities).

Corrs, ol buddy, I got sticky notes with appropriate arrows already drawn, I can plaster those bad boys anywhere I want.

I do appreciate your most generous offer though.  I suspect that after I plug in the big monitor to my 3 year old video card I will have a cv locater of my own, then what will I do?...thanks a pant-load HTC.
