How do you make a widget smaller?

Like the title says.

I did a search but couldn't find any useful info. Specifically, I would like to make the pitch location widget smaller, so it can more easily fit on my screen without obscuring other information. The 'normal' size is too large.

I've always enjoyed the pitch location graphic they use on TV.

I don't think there is a way. In fact, being able to resize widget windows was a suggestion I put in that thread.

I wish we could resize widgets.

Hmmm. Good suggestion. We finally got a flat-screen monitor [I think ours was probably the last household in Ohio to leave the old CRT technology behind] that's several inches bigger, and I was thinking that finally, it was time to start playing around with widgets.

But there's a lot of information I like to have on screen. Unfortunately, there's just not enough screen space to have all that AND that big old pitch location widget. Oh well.

Me too. I'd rather have the ability to resize widgets than 3D graphics!

BTW, my new 23" wide screen monitor makes all the difference in the world.

Our new flat screen is also a 23 incher, vs the previous 17 inch CRT. And I'm seeing things in OOTP that I never saw before!

Such as the team logo and player picture in the little "card" graphic on the right side of news stories about players. I wish we could save and print out this little "card". It shows the player's position and basic stats.

I know there are far more important things that should be fixed in OOTP first, but the ability to print simple baseball cards would be a lot of fun, IMHO. It would be good for online leagues, where owners are usually required to write news stories about their team. It would be fun for people who post on this forum, because so many of us have players we like to show off here.

It would also be good for those of us who like to preserve special moments from our leagues. Many of us have lost leagues over the years due to hard drive failures, data corruption, etc. But I'm sure many of us still remember players from those leagues. It would be nice to be able to preserve a little snapshot of such players.
