that's due to a setting on your local machine. your computer controls the button sizes. i don't know where to change that on linux.
Java board too large
Sort:
What button sizes? It's the board size that is too big
How do you control whatever it is on any other OS and I'll google what the equivalent is.

it's actually not the board. is your system font size. i don't know how to control that on linux - sorry!
Are you saying the board squares are based on fonts? I'm not sure what you're saying. If I said this happened on windows, could you tell me what I would have to do to fix it? Thanks!

i'm saying that the board is a fixed size. it's the elements to the right that have grown out of proportion. on windows i would to go system setup and change the system font (something like this: http://grab.by/8fQE )
I think you might have misunderstood the problem. If you look at the screenshot, the squares of the first rank of the board are cut in half. I'm not bothered about the font size of the text on the buttons. Or have I misunderstood what I think you misunderstood?

hrmmm. i see that now. anyway, it's certainly an issue on your machine (maybe the java applet viewer you have). i have no idea. it looks like this for most people: http://grab.by/8g9R
sorry - i don't know how to help!
Hmm. If I edit the parameters to the applet to increase the height and width, then I can get the whole board to show up:
<applet codebase="http://cssjs.chesscomfiles.com/assets/java/vscomp"
code="com.chess.applet.ChessApplet"
archive="http://cssjs.chesscomfiles.com/assets/java/vscomp/ChessApplet.1.7.4.jar"
height="555" width="710">
Perhaps I can knock up a greasemonkey script to do it.
In the last few weeks, not exactly sure when it started, if I go to finish game against computer, the board opens in a format that is larger than intended. As such, it obscures some of the text on the right and half of the top rank is missing. i.e it seems about 10% too big for the space provided to it.
From a java tester site, this is what I'm running:
Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc. Version: Java 6 Update 23 Operating System: Linux 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64 Architecture: amd64
Browser is firefox 3.6.13
Any ideas?
