Hello, I'm experiencing an issue with resizing the Content Manager in Cartoon Animator 5. I've tried moving the slider, but it doesn't seem to be working. is it possible to resize it ? it's taking half of the screen.
Could you please provide me with some assistance on how to properly resize the Content Manager? 

Hi...

Content Manager shouldn't be taking up half the screen unless you are running at a resolution lower that the recommended minimum of 1920 x 1080. Which resolution are you using?

The Content Manager can be resized, but you might be at the smallest size already. Try dragging the size slider to the left to see if you can make the Content Manager window wider. If you can, then drag back to the right to make sure you are back at the smallest size.

If Content Manager is still taking  up too much space you can toggle it off when working by pressing the F4 key and the F5 key for Scene Manager.

This is what it looks like, i wish it could be way smaller, i mean half of that.37% of original size (was 1365x633) - Click to enlarge

Thanks for posting the screenshot. This definitely shows a strange screen resolution.

Please post the screen resolution you are using. If you are not sure, go to Start > Settings > System > Display and it will tell you in the Scale and Layout section.

Unfortunately your screen resolution is below the recommended 1920 x 1080 which is why Content Manager takes up so much space. 1366 x 768 is a very low resolution by todays standards and not ideal for Cartoon Animator. If your display settings allow changing to a higher resolution then do try switching to 1920 x 1080.

However, if you can't change the resolution because your monitor/screen doesn't support it, then the only thing I can suggest is to turn off Content/Scene Manager while working and only turn on when you need to use them. Ideally though in the long term it would be beneficial to upgrade to a monitor/screen with the recommended resolution.

Even at 1920 the manager is a screen hog. It would be great if it could be resized similar to iclone7 as has been requested by many folks.

Just look how small the CTA4 Content Manager can be (pulled it down to the max).

I Think this should be possible with CTA5 as well. I find the Content Manager is way too large and makes the working area quite small against CTA4.
Everything is so nicely dynamic except the Content Manager window. At least i couldnt get it smaller then on the pic below either.
(This also counts for Iclone8/CC4, CTM should be smaller on single monitor environments.)
