Get "My Tasks" Webpart to Fill Screen

[Kevin H]

The "My Tasks" Webpart only uses less than 50% of the available screen height
whereas I'd like to use all the available screen real estate. Has anybody
managed to make the webpart fill the full screeen?

Hi Kevin,

I've spent quite a few hours with this issue myself. The web part seemed to
change with the Infrastructure update to being rather fixedly sized (it gets
an inline height attribute from somewhere). Using a web developer addon I can
nicely resize it to use the entire work area, but I have not been able to get
the component to scale properly.

The nasty part is that the height is defined inline so you can't override it
with client-side css formating which was my initial approach. I then tried to
modify the aspx only to destroy my test PWA environment. Then I tried
injecting some javascript to the master page - with disastrous results (WSS
didn't like me much ).

I'm hoping that an update in the very near future improves the my tasks
component in several ways, the scaling being one.

If someone has succesfully made the my tasks component scale or filter out
completed tasks, I'd love to hear from them.

I share your hopes! I haven't found any way to filter out completed
tasks, but our workaround for it is for the project manager to change
the Assignment Owner for completed tasks to a resource that left the
company. That removes the completed tasks from the resource's My Tasks
list. The down side is that resources can't then review their
completed tasks, in the My Tasks window, but few want to and everyone
seems grateful that the clutter of having the completed tasks shown is
gone.

I was finally able to get the webpart to fill the screen. I made a new post
on it here:
