Using NYC at Low Video Resolutions
NYC works best with 800x600 resolution or higher. At 640x480 (or 800x600 on a small monitor), you may want to take a few steps to improve certain windows:
Recipe Edit Window
To show more lines of ingredients:
- Use the Classic Thin toolbar instead of the Activity-Based Toolbar (View… Toolbar> Classic Thin).
- Maximize the recipe edit window (maximize button in upper right corner of window).
- Use the side-by-side option (ingredients to left, directions to right).
