It's a Fixed size layout.  You need to edit it using the MaLa Layout Editor. It will be a bit of work to reposition / re-size some of the elemnts so it works propperly.

Tell MaLa under the "display" tab to change your screen resolution to match the version of "Blue" you're running (hopefully 1024x768).  It'll stretch a bit since 1024x768 is 4:3 versus 1280x1024 at 5:4. 

Are you using an LCD screen perhaps? If you are, your video driver might not scale up when you select a different resolution, and just give you a 4-sided letterboxing instead.  I hate that. Is that what's happening?
