What resolution does it take to see complete Control Bar?

I thought that I've seen Cakewalk pictures of X1/X2 with a full Control Bar with all modules showing.

I have my monitor at the highest resolution (1440x900) and I'm not even close to getting all modules visible.

I wish the modules could float and be part of screensets :-(

It's hard to complain... I'm lovin X2!!!

    Even at 1920x1040 you can't see them all (but do you really need to?)

    Cake, let me guess...you have boxes checked and they say "offscreen" right? I can't figure it out either. On my 24 inch monitors at 1920x1080, I can fit in everything but 3 things so though it's not full control bar, it's everything I can fit without seeing any space in the CB.
     
    On my huge screen, there's a big space left over, yet things are reading "offscreen" and I can't make them show up no matter what I try. The space I have left open is easily (on this huge monitor I use...not sitting there now, can't tell you what the resolution is) 3 inches of open space where I SHOULD be able to see more modules. It does it to me on X1 also using that big monitor. I've been meaning to ask this question for quite a while now. Thanks for reminding me. :)

    Agreed...hard to complain here as well. It's working very well for me.

    The Control Bar is not designed to show all the modules. No matter what your resolution, there is a built in limit that will always leave 3 modules "off screen".
     
    A feature request may change that.

    This could get real frustrating should they ever create more modules for it.

    @arachnaut:
    With the new Smart Tool and "T" or Middle-Click opening the Tools HUD, "Tools" certainly don't need to be in the Control Bar.

    I don't personally use ACT, so that can go.


    Screensets are pretty much just 1-0 and Ctrl+(1-0)

    Performance module can go.

    Now that I'm doing drums on the SSeq, I rarely use Sync Module for my ext. drum machine.

    I see what you're saying arachnaut... with mods above I can see the most valuable modules (still can't fit markers, but it's about time I learned the marker keystrokes anyway).

    @Danny
    What is this HUGE screen you're talking about?  Is a 24" screen @1920x1080 still crisp?!?!

    Thanks for the input guys!!!
