How to resize the control window ? (full screen)

Postby neoadam » 26 Sep 2018 18:59

Hi

Please see below my issue

How can I make sure to read properly the times ? (the time elapsed also gets unreadable when reaching 10 minutes)

I didn't find anything relevant with the search "control window" on this forum.

Thank you very much for your help

Cheers

The usual method to fix this type of problem is to reinstall the application. You can try resetting prefs, but if that doesn't work download the latest version and then reinstall it.

Strange, I'm always keeping it updated.
I'll uninstall it totally and reinstall it then.

Thank you for your feedback !

OK, I managed to duplicate your setup. Unless I've misunderstood you, you're already in full screen mode and you want to resize the window right?

All you have to do is to click the 5th button along from the left (the one on its own) as shown in your screenshot. If you hover the mouse over that button it will say "Toggle the video out fullscreen".

Indeed I was already in full screen mode, sorry if I forgot to mention it (but who doesn't watch in fullscreen mode ? ;) )

I tried the mentioned button but it removes the full screen mode, if I click on it again the issue remains.

Thank you a lot for your feedback

It may be related but they mention settings display issue wich seems indeed very similar but I must admit since english isn't my first langage I don't seem to find a solution on the link you provided.

Thank you very much for your feedback

I think I forgot to mention that the issue applies on a second monitor which is actually a smart TV from Continental Edison.
I don't know if this will help but since the issue only happens on this monitor I think I should have mentioned it sorry about it.

Both my main monitors and the big secondary one are in 1080 resolution but the issue only seems to happen on the "TV" monitor.

Do you have the text resolution different between the two screens ? The "scale and layout" in the Windows 10 display properties should tell you.

The settings are setup at 100%, I tried to removing the option to allow windows to correct some eventual blur issue but it didn't solve it.

Thank you for your feedback
