Hi, just downloaded and installed 5.2RC5. Thank you for this update. Currently using all three display monitors namely: Livescreen, Subtitle and Grid.
Scenario:
Region 1 font size: 53
Region 2 font size: 38
When in Live, the Lyrics would display fine under Livescreen and Subtitle modes.

However, in the Grid mode, I noticed that the Region 1 texts would shrink or compress smaller than Region 2. Under the Grid setting, I set the Layout to 2 slides per screen. Is there a way to adjust the Region 1 texts to make it bigger than Region 2?

If I can send screenshots to show clearly what I’m referring to. Thank you

Hi WK,
Trust you are well?

Thanks for the new beta version, I’ve downloaded & loaded it my spare laptop.
I see in the release notes you’ve only been able to address some issues with v5.2RC4.
Can you please let me know if the “With certain fonts, text did not align correctly horizontally fixed” is related to the issue I reported to you about incomplete 1st lines for Bible verses when the margins are not full width? – often just 1 word on the first line with the margins set to L=5 & R=50 (1/2 the screen), any font.
If it was, unfortunately its still having the issue, I’ve tested it with some standard fonts as well as with our default font Futura. It does it even when the top, Left & right are all set to 0 – there are more words on the 1st line, but it could take more words from the verse.
if its not, no worries I have a workaround for it.
regards
James B

Hi James

Thanks for the post. The issue has not been addressed because of development hardware and software issues. I decided to get a final build out as soon as I can to ensure there is a build whilst it is possible to do so. The final build will be on 1st October 2026 and is basically the same as v5.2RC5. I have already started working on v6 from scratch using .NET 10 which hopefully will not have the same issues you reported. I hope to set up a beta area for all to test when the first basic version is ready. It will more than likely be released through the Microsoft store so that there won’t be any security alerts when installing it.
