Changing the Size of RealPlayer

RealPlayer can be adjusted by using Zoom or by accessing the View Menu.

pics/compbutt.gif Switches RealPlayer into Compact view. This view displays a subset of buttons, a smaller status bar and the image window (if playing a clip with video or video-only).

You can also stretch RealPlayer to a different size manually. A larger viewing area may increase the processing time required for playback. If your playback quality decreases or if your machine seems overloaded, you should return to Original Size.

To increase the image area size manually:

  1. Slide your mouse over the lower right corner of RealPlayer.

  2. Click and drag to the size you want. To return to a specific size, see the Zoom functions below.

NOTE: Only the area on the lower right corner of the Player will allow manual resizing.

To increase the image area size using Zoom:

  1. Click pics/zoom.gif.

  1. Select:
Original Size
Double Size


To return to original size from Double Size:

  1. Click pics/zoom.gif.

  2. Select the Original Size option.
