i was messing with my screen size to try and get it as big as possible without quite being fullscreen. and i got a puzzle pirates window that is bigger then my desktop. i would love to set it back, but the options button is below my task bar.. and in ubuntu i can't drag the window off screen above so that i can cut off the top of the window and not the bottom. baisicly, even after reinstalling Y!PP, i am stuck with a scree where i can't see the chat window and i can't click the options button.. help ... fast?... please.... |

Admittedly I am not too familiar with ubuntu, but can you make your desktop size larger? ----------------------------------------

I tried playing around with a small-screen linux netbook lately. Try holding down alt then click-and-drag that window. I'm not sure if it will work on all linux builds, but worth a try. ---------------------------------------- fyre / fyrefaerie / laura Senior Officer of Pirates of the Damned @chicgeek on twitter |

Edit the file $HOME/.java/.userPrefs/rsrc/config/yohoho/client/prefs.xml Change the values "display_height" and "display_width" to whatever you wish. Make sure the client is closed while you do this. After editing, open a client and you will see the new screen size. Also: that is very odd you can't drag windows off-screen. I have no problem doing this in GNOME. I don't know what desktop environment netbooks use - isn't it GNOME? It's not KDE? ---------------------------------------- Retired as of August 2015.

When you edit the prefs.xml file, you can enter any value you like in display_height and display_width. Therefore your choices of screen size are infinite. I like to subtract about 100-200 pixels from my actual screen height and enter it in for display_height. That allows for a title bar on top. ---------------------------------------- Retired as of August 2015. Sic transit gloria mundi. |

If anyone is experiencing the same issue in 2020, with screen size not allowing them to log in, and are using a new Mac: Plug in to an HDMI cable to a TV, and then it should then give you the option to rotate your display. Doing this I was able to return my screen size to normal without fiddling through the files, That being said, I was unable to find the .plist file everyone was writing of. Hope this helps |
