Hi, Tommy!
Your suggestion to move the Preferences window by holding down the
"Windows" key while dragging the window with the mouse does work.
Thanks!
So, there are at least 3 ways to move the window:
1) Alt-F7, then use arrows on keyboard.
2) Alt-F7, then drag window with mouse
3) hold down the "Windows" key while dragging the window with the
mouse (which seems the easiest to me).
Unfortunately, I still do not know any way to resize the window to less
that the minimum dimensions set by the programmer(s).
As for resolution, the native resolution of my computer is 1920 x 1080.
That does show the whole Preferences window, but the display is just
too small to be used for anything except squinting just long enough to
edit the Preferences, and then switch the resolution back to 1360 x
768, which is the highest my eyes can really "work with".
BTW, since I am not a programmer, I can't change how a program is
coded. That's a shame, because I am just guessing that making a window
resizeable might not be that hard to do. But of course, that's easy
for me to say . . .
Thanks again!
