Regarding this change in Version Second Life 1.19.0(4):

-------Remove "New Account..." and "Preferences" buttons from login screen for 1.19.0

This could be a bad problem for me. Sometimes I get my resolutions messed up (or they get messed up for me) to the point where I cannot change them all because I can't see them all to do so.

In the past, when part of the screen has become unable to be seen due to my having a less-than-perfect resolution set, I have relied on still being able to reset it in preferences on the sign-in screen.

With preferences no longer available on sign-in screen, I'm in fear for it getting messed up again, and then never ever being able to fix it! Because it can't be seen on the screen (box sizes are too big) to BE fixed!

Did you think of that possibility?

I plan to update to this, I guess, but what am I going to do when it gets messed up again? Just never log in again? I guess you will hear from me when it happens! But it isn't going to be fun, I know that.

Are you unaware that having the preferences button on the log-in screen is useful for this purpose?

P.S. Anyone else who is reading this, maybe you know what I could do if this happens?

It's there. At the top, under "Edit."

CTRL-P works from the login screen, Coco.

It had me baffled a while ago, too-until I looked upwards...to the never before used menu...and there it was! :D
