Hi Rita,
Bert posted this useful link a short while back. Control-enter seems to do the trick.
Thank you, Derek! I do know about this possibility, but I don't think it is a appropriate thing for first-time users. At least I would like the system to automatically Control-enter, if it detects an older project. I have in mind a website with lots of projects and users, who will come to the site by chance or get directed there without an idea what Etoys is about. And then their first impression should not be a project which isn't working right. I'm not sure if they even would bother with control-enter, I think they would just walk away. Can you see what I mean?

Hi all,
this is not a new problem, but still unresolved. When I open an etoys project with the XO image that has been developed with an older etoys version, the green navigation bar on the top of the project will most likely hide parts of my project. That is highly annoying, especially for first time users of etoys, who are browsing through existing projects on a website. There are so many wonderful projects out there! We will show more of them on the squeakland website, but we want an exciting experience for the users. So I would ask you what we could do to solve this problem. Maybe, when an older project is detected, the green navigation bar will disappear and the orange flap on the bottom will be shown? The would not have a consisting look of the projects, but that is due to the different versions, we could communicate that, but at least the projects could be used. To just move the world down 100 pixels would bring problems with scripts using fixed values for the y-axis, but maybe there is another solution? What do you think? I hope for your suggestions so that we can populate the squeakland site with lots of great projects!
Best Regards, Rita
