How to Enlarge the Webkinz Arcade Screen

"Webkinz" are virtual versions of plush toys that young users can play with in a "safe" web environment. Enlarging the "Webkinz" screen will make the overall layout larger with more white space between page elements. This can help make buttons and icons easier to locate, and should make some games on Webkinz easier to play.

Things You'll Need

• Webkinz account

Instructions

1. Select the square shaped icon in the upper right hand corner of the window, above the Webkinz logo and the "Log Out" button. This will maximize the window.

2. Right click on the windows desktop and select "Screen Resolution" from the options.

3. Select "Resolution" and adjust the slide bar to "low" to reduce resolution and increase the size of each window.

Tips & Warnings

• Reducing the resolution will increase the size of the icons and page elements. Adjustments may be necessary to keep all of the page elements on the visible screen.
