  Hi Candice,

  Would you mind uploading your experiment? Then, I can play around with it a little myself.

  Thanks ,

  Hi Candice,

  Sorry for the late replay. I tried your experiment, but I couldn't see anything weird. Your experiment looks really neat. All the boxes seem to be reasonably sized and properly rendered. What exactly would you want to have changed?
  At any case, in the folder libopensesame\widgets there is a file gray.py, in which you can define the width and of the frame, and the box, etc. I haven't tried it myself, but could this be what you're looking for?

  Thanks,

  Eduard

  Hi Eduard,

  I´m trying to make the checkboxes bigger so that they are easier to press on a touch screen. They probably look fine on yours because I changed my image in the \opensesame_resources\widgets\gray folder in an attempt to make them bigger. Changing those images makes the boxes look bigger but the area that is accepted as a response remains small and the rectangle around it looks off.
  I will tried looking at the gray.py file but I´m not sure what I should modify.

  Thanks!

  Hi Candice,

  I don't know for sure, but I would try to manipulate some values in the frame function. For example, in the beginning of it, you could increase the width/height, of the frame by adding a constant factor, or you could try to hardcode them. I suggest, it makes most sense, to experiment a little, that is, changing things, see what influence it had, over and over again until you have a nice solution.

  Good luck,

  Eduard
