Chat window in Version 7.0 too large

Hello,
I just got upgraded to Version 7.0 and the chat window is way to big and cannot be made any smaller. Even when I split the view and choose compact view (with the latter not really making any difference whatsoever) it is still too big for my needs. Plus when I split the view I have a 2nd Icon on the taskbar which bothers me.
Is there no way to just blend the contact list in and out of view by clicking on some arrow or mimimizing the width to about 1/3 of the "normal" smallest width? This is eating up too much space on my screen and looks ugly on top. The add window on top of the chat and the area with the contact info of my chat partner are also too big, at least the latter should be able to be reduced to 1 or two lines - I know with whom I am speaking.
It feels to me that whoever designed this had only touchsceen users or big monitors in mind. I have attached a screenshot from another program where I need less than a quarter of the space on my screen to give an Idea of what I am looking for.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

In split view, the chat window can be resized just hold your mouse in any corner of the window. The second item on your taskbar is your chat window (skype should be in systray so you really should only have one), you will have one for each conversation (if that is what you choose in settings, i assume you do not have a std Vista/w7 taskbar, in that case it will be only one for all of them).
Yes the font for Contact name is laughtable large (they will fix this is my guess). In split view, you just close Skype and the contact list will goto systray, along with skype itself, doubbleclick brings it back up.
You can also select compact view (not sure of the exact wording here) for the contact list under Viev in skype main window.

  • HT3986 when starting up in windows the screen resolution is too large ,i then restart in windows and resolution goes back too normal

    When starting up windows from mac the resolution is too large, i then restart in windows and the resolution goes back too normal. How do i fix this?

    Having the same issue here....a quick fix is to just minimize the window, and immediately maximize it.  It will now fit the screen.  Trouble is, after you close it, you'll have to do it again when you re-start itunes.  The good news is it takes all of about 2 seconds.  Apple should fix this.  Should.

  • Window too large

    when some windows open - the content is too large (print) not all content can be viewed in the window - even when the window is opened to its largest size

    This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar 1.1.8 extension

  • Since the latest version of itunes, my playlists are "too large" to fit on the computer screen.  I can no longer scroll down because the far right side of the screen is too far over.  How can I minimize the screen or be able to scroll down my list?  Thx!

    Since the latest version of itunes, my playlists are too large to fit on the screen. The left side, with all my playlists is still there, but  I can no longer scroll down the chosen playlist as the far right is no longer accessible.  Any suggestions on how to minimize the list?  Thanks.

    I have the same problem on the latest iTunes software and Windows 7. My window is maximzed and I do not see any tab for photos. Seems related to a recent update (IOS7?) as this was there - at least before the very big change to the interface.

  • ACROBAT XI Pro -EDIT TOOL SET  - POP-UP WINDOW IS TOO LARGE

    Good Day -
    I've been experiencing very nagging problem since installing recent Acrobat Xi Pro uodate (on windows 7 system):
    Specifically - I cannot edit/change the TOOL SET to include needed TOOLS (i.e., that were all previously in my Tool set) as the EDIT TOOL SET WINDOW (i.e., pop-up
    window) is TOO LARGE and does not allow scrolling/ or moving down to SAVE  any tool sets and or tool set changes. Very frustrating as all attempts (and recommendations from reviews/support) for decreasing the size of EDIT TOOL SET WINDOW (popup) in order to save (i.e. include ANY) tools have been unsuccessful.  So for past week I've been unable to include/use any TOOLS for working in (i.e., editing/commenting etc) pdf's.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?  Would greatly appreciate any / all steps & recommendations for fixing.
    Thank-you!

    First, make sure you are on the latest update 11.0.09. Help->check for updates should get you there.
    If check for updates says that you have the latest, see if the setting: Edit->Settings->General->Basic Tools->Scale for screen resolution and try various options (you'll have to restart Acrobat with each selection)

    My iPhoto Library (version 8.1.2) is 280GB (greater than 50% of my 500GB total storage memory on my iMac.  It was too large for me to drag it to a new hard drive so the Apple geniuses did it for me.  However they did not delete the Library from my iMac (that's my responsibility).  I dragged it to Trash and when it started to move I clicked over to the new hard drive to confirm it had indeed been copied.  I became nervous when I didn't see among the few files on this otherwise empty new hard drive anything that resembled a 280GB Library so I cancelled the migration to trash.
    How can I be sure that my iphoto has been copied and that all my "metadata" survived in tact?

    the new backup drive
    I thought the new drive would be your data drive to host the iPhoto library. Do you also use it for TimeMachine backups?
    I am unable to search either in email as well as Finder.  I AM able to search within iPhoto though, thankfully
    Spotlight may still be busy rebuildig its index.
    You could try to rebuild the Spotlight Index, if you do see no progress:
    Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes
    I hope, other frequent posters will drop in. I have not used iPhoto 8.x in long time.

  • Dual monitors: window size too large when opens in smaller monitor.

    I use Windows 7 with two monitors. When I open Firefox directly from my desktop, it opens on the larger monitor, and the window size is just fine. But if I click a link from an email, Firefox opens in the second, smaller monitor, and the window is too large for that screen.
    Please help me figure out how to either (a) make Firefox open with a smaller window; or (b) make Firefox open on the primary, larger monitor.

    oh,  forgot to say Mavericks   10.9.5    running on the mac pro..

  • Chat Alerts too quite and chat window only opens in background

    I have users who find the IM alerts too quiet to hear, even with every volume setting maxed, and find that the chat window is in the background so they do not have a visual queue beyond the taskbar button highlighted. Is there anything we can do about the sound issue - is anyone else noticing the IM chat alerts are very quite, too quiet to hear, and is there a way to make the chat window come to the foreground when a new chat arrives?                  

    I know that on mac book pros if you go to

    and check the box that says "watch for my name in incoming messages" it will highlight your name so you know when a message is directed to you are about you

  • Finder window too large

    I am running 10.4.11.  Somehow my finder window became too lagre.  How do I make it smaller?

    Is it just one Window, all of them, or is it the Desktop that is too large?
    Did you accidentally hit Zoom, CMD+Option+8, do it again, or open System Preferencess>Universal Access>Seeing & turn Zoom OFF.

  • The options window is too large when it opens- i can't see the bottom-most options!

    when i select options in Tools, a window opens, correct?
    this window is too large for my browser. i cannot see the bottom of the window!

    '''Size..Optimize..Restore''', are the only choices. I started FF in safe mode and was able to make the changes I needed. Move " doesn't help at all.
    Being able to make the changes in safe mode leads me to believe one the the plug ins from the FF site is creating the issue...It's just way to large to move it so the bottom can be seen....Thanks for your attempt and time. :)
    Oh..another thing. At times the top tabs are visible, and at other times, the bottom is visible.

    Hi again BDA...
    I'm not certain if it will work on other windows. I am more concerned with it working with the Firefox interface and did not try it on an alternate window.
    On Sep 4, 2012 2:47 PM    (in response to Alexander_Apple) you said:
    "Firefox uses it own settings & Method for that"
    That does make sense which is why I asked if any of the Mac gurus know where in Firefox I go to change the setting. I wasn't really keen on adding another 3rd-party app to my machine. There must be a simpler route to take. Maybe change a preference in Firefox 3.6.28 or in the Displays Preferences? My display is a Samsung LED monitor Model NO. SMBX2235. My Displays Preferences are: "1920 x 1080 @ 60 HZ (NTSC) Millions" but, having not changed them since first setting up the monitor, I'm fairly certain it's not the Displays Preferences. Is there a chance I hit a Function key plus a letter or number one day when typing? I don't recall doing so.
    Thanks for all  your suggestions BDA. I find  it's a bit confusing when you type the word "Windows" with an uppercase "W". Windows to me is something used on an IBM compatible computer. I, personally, do not consider one computer to be better than another. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages and  each type of machine can handle certain apps better than the other machine.
    Thanks again BDA. I hope you have a great day!

  • TS1717 Everytime i open Itunes in windows 7 despite me specifying maximised it opens in window that is always too large for the screen. EVen windowing the frame and then remaximiseing puts the buttons outside the edge of the screen

    Every time i open Itunes it starts in a window that is too large for the screen (despite me setting "start maximised" in the launch options). Then hitting the "maximise" button expands the window slightly pushing all the buttons and edge of the frame out of the screen and behind the taskbar at the bottom. I have to move the window to a place where i can resize it smaller than the screen then and only then does maximising the window fit it properly to the screen.

    Okay, I just opened up Itunes this evening and it's not working again! Sheeshy Peetz!
    HOWEVER, this time I followed some different steps and got it working.
    (1) Uninstall Quicktime
    (2) Uninstall Itunes
    (3) Re-download Both
    (4) Install Quicktime First!  (Read #6 below first though)
    (5) Install Itunes Next!  (Read #6 below first though)
    (6) Here is the CAVEAT for me:  I have an SSD as my C:\Drive, which is where I originally installed both of them.   So this time, I installed both Quicktime and Itunes to a Non-SSD drive, which was one of my SATA Drives.
    (7) Start Itunes and Test your Movies now.  For me I was able to play them finally.  Who knows how long this will last lol.
    Maybe this work for someone.

  • FF window too large when using extended desktop. Must reboot to return to correct size when I return it to the main screen.

    I watch on-line videos on my HDTV by using "extended desktop" and sliding the FF window to the HDTV. The window becomes too large to access the controls to size it, or the top bar, to move it.
    I can move FF window back to my pc by minimizing it on the pc toolbar, but when I "restore" it, it restores to the HDTV. I can not move it back to the pc, I also cannot re-size the screen

    Hello.  Thank you all for giving my some advise but I do not understand any of it.
    I'm a bit of a technophobe when it comes to computers. 
    It is a Sony Vaio and there is a model number on the base of the laptop PCG-71911M.  I have tried to look in the Control Panel to see if I can find its specifications but these days the system is too complicated for me to understand.
    I did try seek out the information on the internet but just get a French site. Doh!!! 
    I use Nikon View NX software when I am viewing my images and again if I go to full screen for viewing the image the taskbar 'occludes' the little arrows I use to view the next image. When this happens I just click the little box in the far right edge of the taskbar and ViewNX 'disappears'.  When I go back in and click on 'show desktop' it clears the taskbar. I can then easily access the buttons to move forward.  Also when I am using PSE8 I have the same problem with accessing the buttons after I have completed my raw adjustments in the ACR window but it allows me to press the buttons with great difficulty if I can 'catch' the edge of the button and the ACR goes into PSE8 properly.  I'm sorry that I have not explained myself well. At the present it looks as if the ACR window is too 'large' for the PSC5 window it 'sits upon'. It seems that it does not want to 'sit over' the taskbar. I have eventually fathomed that I can use Cntl and O to open the image (Open Image button) but this is not the least bit satisfactory.  I don't know how I am going to access the other options eg 'done' and 'cancel' and 'save image'.
    Thank you all once again and any help - but idiots' language please - would be gratefully accepted.
    Jacqueline.
