Why is the window size not more adjustable?

[Trader_55]

Guys,

Why have you made the minimum window width in NT 8 so large? In NT 7 we could make the minimum window size thinner than what is possible in NT 8, by about 50%. Also, the borders on the windows are about 1/8" thick, can we adjust this in some way? This cannot be a limitation of WPF, it's just something that you guys have put in as a limitation. Can you please adjust this to allow for a larger variety of window sizes for those of us that need to save space? Going back to what worked in NT 7 would be acceptable.

Thanks for your feedback. We had originally no min/max limit like NT7, but there are some issues related to SharpDX and its render target introduced with NT8 which we have to account for. It is not so trivial to implement and resolve cases where a graphic driver loses track of the render target, and were forced to hard code a limit so the render target would never be lost.

OK, so I get that there has to be a limit. However, does it really have to be the exact limit that you have currently set? Is there any way that you can make that limit about 1/2 the size that it is now, to allow for smaller charts?
