Can the start page be modified?

Post by Pamb10 »

I want to modify the size of the Open an Existing Project box on the Start Page. Is this possible?

i think the only option would be disabling the start page from displaying.

Thanks, i will submit. Reason is that my path is longer than i can see and it would be nice to be able to glance and know im choosing the correct project, instead of hovering over it to see the full path.

Until then maybe you wanna try generating links to the projects directly. You can add those links as symbols on the desktop or in the start menu or in a custom Windows toolbar. Then you click (link is in a custom toolbar or the Windows start menu) or doubleclick (link is on the desktop) on the relevant project link and the project opens in Flare.
I have those links in custom toolbars:

Advantage: You can customise that sort of link and give it a name that tells you precisely what project it is opening. As you can see (top symbol) you can even assign different icons/symbols to those links.
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

About the Start page, I know I've asked this question previously but I can't find the post. I have a list of projects in my Start page and I want to reset the list, but can't for the life of me remember how to.

Any pointers please?

Under the File menu there's an option to manage recent projects. Click that and you'll get a screen where you can delete a single project from the start page or all the projects. It doesn't delete the project from the computer, just the start page.
