MIDS hero designer is cut off at the bottom :(

Have you tried maximizing the window or changing the way the powers are presented (like, 2 columns instead of three)?
Checking on my laptop, it looks like the Mids program is about 735 pixels high (768 on a VEAT). Having a screen height of 800, works just about perfect for me. It appears you are using a resolution with a height of 768 (unless your hosting site resized it). That's why it's getting a little cut off.
What if you drag the title bar up a little higher than the screen and drag the bottom of MIDS to open a little farther? You might be able to use a hidden Windows Taskbar to allow more space as well.
There's a little button (to the right of where it says "Unlock" in your screenshot) that will shrink the info box. It's annoying, but only an issue with EATs. When I'm working on them, I just switch it back and forth as needed. Someone should PM Stoney or one of the other Titan guys to see if they have a fix in the works, or something like that.

Oh I wouldn't use the totals tab. Click that button that says "View Totals." It brings up a separate window for it which is, I believe, much better and easier to look at for viewing totals.

Well I'm not you am I? Both options have their advantages and 'View Totals' doesn't show you your recharge - which is something I'm trying to work on.

Well that's weird. I haven't use Mids', but I understand it's player-designed and it's been updated pretty regularly. Why would global recharge be called "Haste" on the display? "Hasten" is a power, and that's likely to cause confusion -- and what was wrong with the (as far as I know, universally used) term "Recharge?" If it's a space consideration, why not "Rechg" (which has the same number of characters as "Haste")?

Dude, your screen resolution is like 2. Are you on a netbook? [or iPhone?]

because haste is a verb- to speed up etc
Hasten is the actual power I think your the only one confused.

I will also submit for the record that the reason the screenshot was posted is because at least one other person in this thread didn't recognize "haste" meant "recharge."
Seriously: the term of art is "recharge," very consistently in game and the forums. Why introduce a new term just for a Mids' screen?

Haste is usually a noun. Its verb form is listed in my dictionary as archaic. You make haste, perform with haste, feel a need for haste, and are in haste.
Therefore, "Haste" is what the power Hasten gives you, and it is parallel to "Accuracy", "Damage", and "Endurance Reduction". Recharge is a verb.
I do agree that "Recharge" in that spot would be less confusing, as many sources of increased recharge speed exist beyond Hasten. However grammatically it doesn't fit on the list.

Mids (the original designer) is also British. He does 'odd' grammatical things like that |

It's been like that since the software first came out, and this is the first time I saw someone confused by it.

[Haste] is also one of the possible buffs granted by the Lab Equipment on Crey maps.
Description: The exploding Lab Equipment has exposed you to something strange. You feel energized, and you are Hastened.
On a side note, it blows [Hasten] away.
[Hasten]: 70% recharge buff for 2 minutes with -15 endurance "crash" at the end.
[Haste]: 100% buff to run/fly speed and 100% recharge for 5 minutes.
I wish [Haste] was more available... maybe as one of the fortunes. haha I wish.
On MIDS I can't see some things that are on the bottom of the screen like the damage and misc effects.
Here's a screen shot.

It only happens with my VEAT build. Is there anything I can do?
