Bigger dialogs required

Since the size of the font used in dialogs has changed you can clearly see that the text in 6.0.0.2 alpha's Terms of Use is getting cut off:

In the About dialog too the scrollbar now has to be used to see the full text:

Although this is not as much of a problem as the Terms of Use dialog because of the scrollbar, you may want to increase the height of the dialog a little.

Also, I must say I preferred the Times New Roman type font used earlier in the About dialog compared to the Arial type font used now, but that's just me.

Well spotted!

* Terms of Use dialog has been resized to fit all captions.
* About dialog doesn't need resizing, the license text changes dynamically, particularly in the Pro version.

All components now use native system font, which is normally Tahoma on Windows 7.

I do agree that Times New Roman feels a little nicer in the big title, but I still prefer consistency and not using hardcoded font names. This will also play a role when ReNamer will be available on other platforms, i.e. Linux and Mac.

Ah, so it was hard-coded earlier or the component was using its own defined font instead of the native font? If the new component lib simply uses the native system font then that's perfectly fine. Wasn't such a big issue anyway compared to the one with the Terms dialog.
