I've attached a pic of said problem
http://i47.tinypic.com/wwhhmx.jpgAs you can see I can't read the layer names.. then if I scroll to the right I can't see the on/off state button.
I'm actually using a 1920x1200 pixel resolution diplay, the layers bar is only 5.2% of my screen width.. think I can afford having it use a little more space.
