I tend to run my resolution much higher than most people and have plenty of real-estate. I would love to be able to stretch the dialog boxes so I don’t have to horizontally scroll list box dialogs such as the beer style dialog.

Resizeable dialog boxes

Beer Tigger,
I know what you mean - I actually run three large montors at high resolution on my main computer.
This is a possibility, though it is a challenge under Windows, which does not have much support for resizable dialogs.
However, I'm looking at ways to do this for possible major revision - though it is probably a year or more off.
Cheers!
Brad

Well, what language do you write this in? Maybe I could help.
C++, that's my favorite! Been doing software for 20 years, C++ for 16.
If you ever want to delegate a function... let me know.

You could always move to Managed Code and make use of Winforms. I know they have a simple property you can set to the dialogs you create to allow them to be resized quite easily. 
The next version of the framework that is being worked on ( been using beta1) will have a bunch of other fun and cool controls for the toolbars, menus, etc.

Thanks - I will take a look.
The pain, of course, is having to redevelop a lot of the infrastructure code that makes BeerSmith so easy to use. Unfortunately I'm going to have that pain no matter which option I choose.
Cheers!
