Does anyone have any thoughts about modifying xscopes-qt to allow for a shorter vertical footprint? ?Seems to be locked at 850 which makes it barely usable at 1200x800. ?Trying it on a smaller device like an EEE-PC is pure frustration.
Also is there currently any way to hide the controls and maximize the graph area?

Yes, this is giving me grief also on the Raspberry Pi; I hate to make everything else microscopic just to get access to the controls; even to turn it on and off.

One thing I did was to edit the /boot/config.txt in order to change the vertical part of my screen resolution to 800 which worked for my 1366x768 display.
