Odd? Screen zooms slightly when window opens

Ok, I'm sitting on the Windows desktop. Whenever I open a window, the entire screen size actually gets slightly bigger, as if it zoomed in 1 or 2%. Does that seem weird?

I'm running Windows XP Pro SP1
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 955DF
VidCard: ATI Radeon 9000 Pro
 
Mine does that too. Is your desktop a fairly dark colour? My theory is that quickly replacing a lot of dark with light or white means that the higher energy required to illuminate all the pixels has an effect on the magnetic fields that constrain the beam - a higher energy beam will be harder to bend, and so you'll see the screen jump outwards a bit.

I think that you'll find that the screen moves back inward, but you don't notice it happening - when I minimize the window back to a dark desktop I don't see the screen get smaller.
 
Yeah, it happens, just a monitor thing, nothing to worry about :happy:

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
