Currently I'm playing around with MC 13 and my new netbook. In princible it's working, but the screen has only a size of 1024x600 pixel. My problem is the option dialog, it's hard to click the dialog button. Please could you change the size of the dialog to less than 600 pixel in high ? Let say 560 pixel ? Thanks.
This happens to me on my ASUS 1000H too. The problem is NOT isolated to MC though. Many applications assume a minimum resolution of 1024x768 anymore. For example, just try importing pictures using Adobe Lightroom on a netbook.
In the most recent Valve hardware survery (checking the installed base of all users of Valve's Steam system), the install base of users below 1024x768 (most at 800x600) was < 0.7%. Some older but broader "internet users" surveys pegged the number at less than 4% total (and that includes netbook users).
The root of the problem is that they need to get the resolution on netbooks up one "notch" to 1280x720 with some higher density displays. That would provide sufficient resolution, and would also allow true playback of 720p video (assuming you put a better GPU on the motherboard as well).
