Hi,

When playing the game I can see the name of the opening used in the bottom line of the main window. Unfortunately on Vista operating system (Aero interface on!), I can see only the upper half of the letters, whereas the lower half is covered by the window frame.
See Picture

Is there a way to change the display settings to show the entire text?

Other than turning off Aero? I think not.

Then maybe it is time to submit an error to Ubisoft, especially, as the game claims to be compatible with Vista ...

It is. Just not with Aero

Feedback submitted to Ubisoft. Let's see what will be their reply

Normally, unless it's an installation problem, you'll get a scripted reply telling you to search the forums -- so don't expect too much.

I have same problem.

I have got a reply from Ubisoft Technical Support. They said to reduce the number of colours to 16-bit and resolution to a lower one. This resulted in changing the Theme from Aero to Vista Basic one, which is not something I would accept. To my direct question, whether Chessmaster supports Aero interface in Vista, I have got no reply, whatsoever ;-)

Chessmaster is running under the Aero interface. Granted, there is a glitch; but it's still working.

So the answer is that it's "mostly" supported.

Theoretically, this should be quite simple:
If Aero Theme is on, increase the width of the bottom frame by a few pixels. I am not a programming expert, but I guess, that Vista provides a unified interface guaranteeing the proper look of the windows in ALL themes. Ubisoft just needs to USE it! Otherwise, all other programs claiming Vista compatibility would not work correctly ... but in most cases they do!
