Scanner probe "cubes" won't resize when zooming

Hi! My work is sending me around the state lately so I put EVE on my little netbook and it has been running fine with everything on low. It's a 10.1 inch, with a 1280x720 screen so things are high-res (aka tiny).

My problem is when I'm probing. With probes out and the solar system map open, the cubes stay the same size when I zoom in or out. They are really small and it's hard to drag them around. On my desktop computer the cubes will resize when I zoom +/- and I'm hoping to get that same functionality on my netbook.

Does anyone know if it's a graphics setting or how I can accomplish this? Thanks!

edit: here's a screenshot with the HUD to compare the cube sizes: http://i.imgur.com/gjgKw.jpg

Looks about normal to me. As far as I know, the cube sizes are constant no matter what level of zoom you use.

Your screenshot looks fine to me.

I can see them not scaling being an issue though, but i haven't experienced it.

You might want to upload a second screenshot for comparison.

Yeah, the cubes not scaling is the only issue I'm having.

Here is the first image (again): http://i.imgur.com/gjgKw.jpg probes are @32AU & zoomed out
Here is a second screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/FdQBS.png with probes @0.25UA & zoomed in

You can use the module icons as a reference size to see the cubes are not scaling.

That's by design. Otherwise the cube would occlude the sphere when you zoom in too much, which would make it impossible to manipulate the probe.

Apparently I have the memory of a goldfish. I was able to find some screenshots I had taken on my desktop and they actually don't scale, so thanks for the input all and sorry for the waste of time Oops
