XCLN: Suggestions for Configuring OWA for 640 X 480 Resolutions

ID: Q234032

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Active Server Components, version 5.0
Microsoft Outlook Web Access, version 5.5
Microsoft Outlook Web Access, version 5.5 Service Packs 1, 2

SUMMARY

Exchange Outlook Web Access (OWA) is optimized to run best using browsers with screen resolutions of 800 X 600 or higher. You can view OWA using a smaller screen resolution and still see the entire screen using scroll bars. However, by making some modifications to variables within the scripts used for OWA, you may more easily use OWA on a 640 X 480 screen resolution.

Be sure to replicate ANY changes to each language pack you have installed, and in the case of files like Title.asp and Main_fr.asp, replicate the change to the Inbox, Calendar, Contacts, and Public Folder files as well.

Controlling the Size of the Windows

Search the Logon.asp file for openNewWindow. The last two parameters in this call set the size of the new window (the default is 600 X 500).

Controlling the Size of the Frames

Top Level

Root.asp: L_OutlookBar_FRAME_Width_Number sets the width of the navigational bar. You can turn scrolling off in the navigational bar to save additional space.

Nested Frames

Main_fr.asp: Controls the size of the toolbar and width of the folder list. L_Title_FRAME_Height_Number = 85 adjusts height of title frame. L_Folder_FRAME_Width_Number = 156 adjusts width of folder frame.

Title.asp: Change the location of the form field viewSelect to the same cell as bstrFolderName. If needed, reduce the font size of bstrFolderName.

Nbinbox.asp (or Nbanon.asp for anonymous users): You may change the display size of all the icons and fonts to make all of them fit the height of your screen.
