The new launcher is really nice, I must say.
Grats on the redesign. ^^
And i agree sir! A change for the best!
Agreed, much better !
It's a lot bigger. I wonder if it will be full screen by season 4.
The new launcher does not fit itself well on my screen..
not on 1920x1080 and not on 1280x720. Top menu items and lower buttons are outside the launchers window. There is ample space on the desktop though..
Any clue? Did not want to litter the forum with a new "new launcher" thread that is why i post in here.

I have the same problem. The "play" button is outside the launcher. If I want to click it I have to search for about a 3 pixel orange line at the bottom. Not exactly a fun problem.

Definitely a Font or Display scheme issue.
Make absolutely sure you don't use any Font scaling neither within your OS or anywhere in the Graphics Driver (if present).
Might in order to default to a standard Display scheme (if you use Windows) to ensure all related parameters are reset to their proper defaults.
If that helps, from there on you can customize it back as usual and will see which setting caused the issue.
I could envision especially on some very high DPI Displays, Users commonly once initially setup some kind of Font scaling to maintain readability - but forgot about it.
Other than that (although I don't think it would be an issue), make sure all Visual C++ Redistributable Packages are properly installed. The launcher should have automatically installed them, but you never know...
(I think it's using the MicroSoft 2005, 2010 and 2012 Visual C++ Redistributable Packages, at least that's what I saw when the launcher did its thing)
For all I know, these VCC+ Packages are the only ones it installs to meet its own runtime requirements, haven't seen it install anything else besides those.
On a very remote idea : check that no Firewall blocks any of its traffic.
I have no idea if it i.e. can't load images off the Server and has missing content could result in scaling errors of the frames/UI. Worth a look.
After all, it's a new Executable any good Firewall would have to issue/get an updated permission for.

Absolutly spot on there, i started fiddling with those, everything back to 100% under windows 10. Now with scaling of fonts to 100% on 1920 i can see it all, just not read it
.So i switched to 1280x720 and no scaling needed there, everyhing is readable..
I hope they will iron out that a bit so atleast the most important functions are in a viewable area.. If FDEV need space, make the whole launcher 16:9 like a website, scrollable
would be appreciated 
IMO, there was nothing wrong with the old style launcher, and I don't recall anyone complaining about it or saying things like "teh launcher needs redesigning".
I'd like the option as to which style to use (it can't be that hard to let us choose, surely?)
I'm going to end up one of those that constantly complains if Frontier become a company that keeps redesigning stuff for the sake of it *cough* Microsoft *cough*

It should fit on a 1920x1080. It's only 998x809 itself.
