- -------- What is BrowserSizer? ---------------------------------------
-
- BrowserSizer is a low-fat, NOT in-your-face tool to help web
- developers check to see how their web pages look on screen resolutions
- of 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 and WebTV. It controls Internet Explorer
- or Netscape Navigator from an un-obtrusive, sit in your tray,
- application that provides an interface to resize either browser to the
- standard screen resolutions. Isn't it annoying to change your
- development machine's resolution just to test for people who haven't
- figured out that they can change THEIR screen resolution?
-
- Major Features:
- - Controls the window size of Internet Explorer (3,4,5,6+), Netscape
- Navigator (2,3,4,6+), and Mozilla (New for v1.5).
- - Provides accurate sizing of browser as would be when viewed
- full-screen at selected resolutions.
- - Provides options to account for size with Microsoft Windows
- TaskBar and also Microsoft Office Shortcut Bar.
- - Quick hide/show to/from system tray on tray icon double-click.
- - Remembers options, last window position, and selected browser
- on exit.
- - Provides online update checking. (NEW for v1.1)
- - Ability to Control all features while BrowserMaster is minimized
- in the system tray.
- - Runs under Microsoft Win95/98/ME/2000/XP & Microsoft NT4.

-
- * Netscape v6.0 and Mozilla open up a new window everytime you
- request to browse to a BrowserMaster bookmark. Waiting on
- Mozilla.org to fix. Bug 59078 & 25699.
- * Re-sizing Netscape Navigator in quick succession can occasionally
- cause BrowserMaster to crash.
- * Both browsers don't consistently pop to the front of the desktop
- on resize attempt. (Mostly when BrowserMaster is hidden in
- system tray)
- * BrowserMaster does not attach to an open Internet Explorer window
- on resize attempt.
- * Netscape Navigator's position can get 'confused' when attempting
- a resize while two windows are open to the same web page or
- with the same title.
