I would like to comment that I also have problems with the bar, since I view my windows are in 800x600 size.

I don't know how much of a minority, but I would really appreciate it if the forum were friendly to people like us. Has the minimum standard windows size risen to 1024x768? This problem exists in both IE6 and Firefox.

The standard windows size has always been 1024x768. Only way to solve this is remove some options from the top menu bar but that so mean that all of us will miss out on some functions.

Hi,

Some possible suggestions:

1. Make the bar wrappable to two lines
2. Shorten "You have no new messages" to "No new messages"
3. Remove the name from the logout option. E.g. "Log out [ Ekezial ]" just becomes "Log out". Each person should have only one account anyway.
4. Shorten the spacing between each option and the bullets by a few pixels so that the bar is less that 800 pixels long.
5. Reduce the font size?
6. Make the bar permanantly two lines?

Do consider.

Thanks very much!
