Changes been made to course video sizes, now I can't see the full video on one screen (without using full size)

Hi Treehouse folk,

I'm not sure whether this is intentional or not but it has a small impact on myself. I have roughly 1400 by 680px laptop screen and log onto Treehouse daily. Today the course video's are far too large to fit on my screen (baring in mind I hide my taskbar at the bottom too). I can full screen the video or browser but I am always flicking from the video to my localhost server to type as I go along with the video (alt + tab for windows). I can't do this anymore because to do it from full screen means I have to move back to full screen every few seconds and slows me down.

Like I said, I'm unsure whether this was intentional or whether it plans to stay like this but as a long serving Treehouse student I'm just having my say. I'm letting you know this change is having a negative impact on myself and maybe other users too.

Kind Regards,

Adam

Agreed. This is how it looks on my 1366 x 768 laptop in a maximized Chrome window:

As a temporary fix, you can restore down your browser and make it narrower. This will shrink the video.

Cheers for this fix, I'll stick with the narrow screen for the time being. :)

Thanks

At least its not just me that's annoyed by this change. I like being able to watch my progress but I think seeing the whole video would be better.. And thanks Greg for the tip!
