Want to reduce Freestyler window...

Post by djmaq »

I want to reduce/extend my Freestyler window. If I klick the button between _ and x in the right top corner of the window freestyler becomes a little bit smaller but I want to klick and hold on the down right corner and change the size to every imaginable size I could use. Like other wondows software like word, excel, magic 3d easy view, ...
So I can watch others programms on the same display while using freestyler.

thats not particulary freestylers problem thats the last saved state of its restored size (basically someones dragged it out to like fullscreen) you need to click the restore window button then run your mouse around the edges to find a draggable point (all four sides are draggable) then size it up anyway you like it then when u press maximize then restore again it should :? go back

Thats the restore / maximize button.
When the window has been restored, it has been set so not to be sizable and display a set size,
there are benefits to this method to ensure the layout of the program is always displayed correctly, and as you have found there are limitations, maybe a minimum size could be added so that the program still displays well but is sizable to fit correctly with other programs, screen sizes etc.

I'm a software developer and I really dont see how one could claim this is a limitation of Windows.

Even if it were its one that apparently every other developer can deal with quite easily.

Like iv said before, Whilst it is easy to make a window sizable, In fact its sizable by default you have to add the code to make the window static, I believe Raph has done this by design to ensure the windows are correctly displayed, etc. Maybe he could implement a minimum size of the window. Not sure if tVB has a helper function that allows this, but could be implemented by checking the size of the window and if smaller then preset size then resize to the preset.

The FS desktop is NOT resizeable. I can hit the middle button (lets call it 'float') and the window becomes a little smaller but you cannot grab the top, bottom or sides to drag the window to the desired size.
