So, did the one above your last post work?
For some reason I only read half your post. Didn't notice the upload.

Anyway, It looks really good here except for some reason part of the toolbar floats above it. And I would move the Close Box to the top.

I can try to clip \ crop the top and make it wider, but it's not going to look like a letter.

Moving the close to the top - is not a problem.

BTW - So that I don't have to re-read all of those other post - what is your screen res \ desktop set at?

1366x768. I think the width is fine. Just the height.

Hey, edit the numbers for this, and tell me what happens.

File is 1280x720

I'll test it now.
I'm going to cover some of the buttons up on the bottom of the screen - but nobody can click them while courier message is displayed, by design!
I had another thought as i was waking up this morning.

What if you could make the Toolbar disappear while the message was on screen? It's disabled anyway There's a keyboard command for that so it would be simple scripting to make it happen if it's available. I've never heard anybody talk about it but I know you can script certain events in the scenarios. Let me explore that in another post. If I don't RebBugler will be all over me. He's a stickler for staying on topic when it comes to forum posts. ;)

Why can't this image be tweaked? It's so close.

I thought that we tried that, even if the bottom is slightly clipped - something else happens?

OK - Stand-By : It will take five minutes to clip that and post it back here.

I'm getting confused. The best one for me so far is Old_Courier_Message2_v2. I'm posting the two dds files; The one you just posted and the one which came with this mod, labeled as such. I'm also posting the latest screenshot for the one you just posted.

Just think, you could end the agony with a simple caveat: "if it doesn't work for you, too bad". :evil:
