Re: [newbie] Resizing the program windows
I use the KDE Desktop with Linux-Mandrake 6.0, and it works well. Some of the display windows are larger than the screen, and do not have the full-screen button in the top-right corner. To access the hidden parts of the display, I hold the ALT key, and move the window with the left (primary) mouse button. For any windows which have the full-screen button (the one with a box in the button), I use this, and the entire window usually then fits the screen. If not, I use the ALT key-left mouse button combo to move the window to show the bottom etc. Hope this is useful, Ernie - Original Message - From: Richard Salts [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 1999 2:21 PM Subject: [newbie] Resizing the program windows I've had to do a reinstall and I'm having difficulty with resizing Netscape so I can see the whole program, top to bottom.

Make the screen bigger than 640x480? ;) no serious this needs to be on a FAQ, most window managers let you alt-click to drag a window. alt-click the middle of the window and drag the top off the screen till the bottom comes on, then shrink the lil bugger. Basicly your looking for A) alt-click and drag, or B) a real video card/monitor Thanks for any ideas. Richard -- MandrakeSoft http://www.mandrakesoft.com/ --Axalon
