Forgive me if I am wrong,becuase I am still quite new to this
environment, but it seems that there is a limitation on the size of
canvas that the visual programming in VW 2.0 will work with. Is this
the case? If so is there a hack? I want to design some large windows on
a 21'' monitor.

I've tried changeing the size of the window in the browser. But,
although this gives me a larger window when I run it as part of a
program, the visual programing components don't seem to know the true
size of the window.

Just to save me lots of frustration: suppose that I edit the positions
of some visually programmed widgets using a browser to take account of
the larger window size that I want to use, will this prove to be
robust? Has anyone tried it and tested it over a long period?

Many, many thanks in advance

Simon
