BrowserSizer(tm) - Version 1.01 Copyright (c) 1998 Racecar All Rights Reserved Member of Racecar's Stampware Collection http://www.vasile.com/racecar/stampware/ -------- What is BrowserSizer? --------------------------------------- BrowserSizer is a low-fat, NOT in-your-face tool to help www developers check to see how their web pages look on screen resolutions of 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 and WebTV. It controls Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator from an un-obtrusive, sit in your tray, application that provides a interface to resize either browser to the standard screen resolutions. Isn't it annoying to change your development machine's resolution just to test for people who haven't figured out that they can change THEIR screen resolution? Major Features: - Controls the window size of Internet Explorer (3,4) AND Netscape Navigator (2,3,4). - Provides accurate sizing of browser as would be when viewed full-screen at selected resolutions. - Provides options to account for size with Microsoft Win95/NT4 TaskBar and Microsoft Office Shortcut Bar. - Provides the ability to control browsers while BrowserSizer is minimized in the system tray. - Quick hide/show to/from system tray on tray icon double-click. - Remembers options, last window position, and selected browser on exit. - Runs under Microsoft Win95/98 & Microsoft NT4/5. -------- Racecar Stampware Notice ------------------------------------ So, what is Stampware you ask?

(Mostly when BrowserSizer is hidden in system tray.) * BrowserSizer does not attach to an open Internet Explorer window on resize attempt. * Netscape Navigator's position can get 'confused' when attempting a resize while two windows are open to the same web page or with the same title. * Support for multiple versions of Netscape Navigator concurrently. * Online check for application updates. * User Options like: - Save current window position permanently - Select default browser on BrowserSizer tabs Suggestions are welcome.
