Fred,
This is pretty simple to do. I don't have the 0.13 installed on my
computer anymore, so I'll give you instructions for 0.14; it should work
out the same, although the line numbers may be different.
To do this, open up the launcher.pbl file in a text editor. I'd recommend
installing notepad++, as using something like notepad is harder to use.
This file is probably in c:\Program Files(x86)\pebl\bin\launcher.pbl; the
.pbl extension might be hidden. You should make a backup copy of this in
case something gets messed up, but edit the launcher.pbl file either
directly or copy it to your own account, edit, and copy back to that
location (you will need admin access).
The subject code box is created with code that looks something like this,
around line 400 of 0.14:
subjectbox <- EasyTextBox(gsubcode,xbase+350,ybase2+20,win,
fontsize,60,yheight)
Some of the values are a bit different in 0.13 because I changed the
layout. The simplest thing to do is to change the 5th argument, which is
currently a variable called fontsize that is set to 11. Change 'fontsize'
to 9 or 10, and see if it gives you enough space while still being
readable.
The other thing you can do is make the textbox bigger. This is controlled
by the next-to-last argument (here it is 60). If you make it bigger (100
or so), you should have enough room. But this might make the [+] button
be placed in a strange place, and so you *might* need to move it. The
code that creates this is a few lines later,
subplusbutton <- MakeButton(.....)
If you try changing the width and the plus button is misplaced, you can
try fiddling with the first and second arguments of that line.
Let me know if you run into trouble; send me the laurcher.pbl file you are
using if you do.
Best,
Shane
