[Xerte] Enlarging Categories Exercise?

[Alistair McNaught]

My solution (as a non-techie) would be to have abbreviated labels for
the categories and place the key to the abbreviations in the intro text.


It may not be as much fun to recode but it would take me 3 mins using
Xerte online toolkits and I'd use the time saved in coding to create
some more learning objects for other parts of the course...

The exercises re built for 800x600, so to make them bigger will mean
tweaking the code in the models,

Thanks, Paul.  That appears to adjust the stage size, but didn't affect
the size of the actual Category exercise that appears on the stage.  Any

ideas on how to get that to scale with the stage size or what the
variable is that handles the dimensions of that, so I could change it
directly?   Looking at things using inspect(rootIcon), it seems like the

width is preset at 720 in various places, but I don't even know where
the code it is running is coming from, so I'm not sure if/where I can
alter it.

Best,
Rob
