    Default Text and window sizes - too small help!

    Hi, I just started dual boxing yesterday, everything works great but the only problem I have is that I can't read anything. The funny thing about it is I'm using a 32" televison to view both games open at once which should be plenty of space since most of u guys are using 17"-22" monitors. The minimap is way too small. The quest window and chat is way too small as well. I tried to use UI Scale but everytime I use that it screws up my maximizer and goes back to 2 normal windows overlapping eachother. Now another thing I'm unsure of is that I have 2 wide screens instead of 2 height screens. Don't know if that would make a difference but heres a screenshot. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...g?t=1219616623
    As you can see my spells are good and I have got the healthbar fine but my questlog minimap and chat are way too small, also macro page is as well and extremely hard to tell what im doing. Any help would be appreciative.

    well to start i know you can right click on you chat box tab to change the font size.......

    also, not sure about your in game minimap as I use the mod Mappy , its re sizable and a great map addon.

    As for the macro box text.. hmmmm... somehow i managed to change the font style eons ago so it comes up more Block Type and easier to read, just dont remember what i did, sorry.... anyone?

    EDIT: I have a Fonts Folder in my main WoW directory which has the blocky fonts in it, i think some addon from the past installed the folder, not sure.

    Do you need to see both windows at once? I'd say just alt tab between them, alternately open one at the regular dimensions as large as it goes (probably will take up 2/3 of your wide monitor) and then the other as a tiny square on the other side.

    Note that size doesn't equal resolution. If you have a 70" non-HDTV, you won't be able to read a damn thing. Also, if you want to change settings, right-click the taskbar button for the window you're trying to read and click "Maximize." Then when you're done changing things, right-click the taskbar button again and click "Restore."

    IMO Change the resolution of them both so that they arent giant rectangles.
    Something like .. 1024*768 maximised to fit half the screen each (vertically not horizontally like you have it now).
    The resolution you have now is shrinking the X dimension by a lot to fit in two screens, but giving you a ridiculous Y dimension.
