Getting Everything to Fit?

I hope there's a setting for this. I'm wondering why Inspector, Console, etc doesn't fit my screen. Everything is too big even with the console for instance un-docked and window maximized there's still a need to scroll up to see the whole console. I have a 15 inch laptop screen with a resolution of 1366x768.

Ah, hmm... okay. I wonder if X2 requirements are the same.

You can set up screen sets to help you manage screen real estate.

That gives you up to 10 different presentation layouts, and getting from one to another is as easy as hitting one of the numbers on your number pad.

Lots of us also add a second or even a third monitor, which is super easy in Windows.  For instance, I have a second display monitor, and I have created a project template that has the console moved to that second display monitor, freeing up a bunch of room for the track pane on my primary monitor.  You can get a new 32" HDTV for about $199 or less these days, and they make nice monitors.  I have a 46" one for my main, and a 32" for my secondary.  I used to have another 32" one, but found I didn't really need it as much as I needed entry into the bedroom doorway, so I gave it away.

The dual monitor solution is a good one. Even adding a small 1024 x 768 has enabled me to move the console over to that. Works out nicely for me anyways.
