LiveCode Forums

Okay... so I did get my zoom keys working thanks. I also tried it with a VirtualBox UbuntuVM ontop of Ubuntu. That let me scale up the window. I tried using tigervnc with a virtual screen.... wayyyy too slow.. So for now the answres seem to be a VM or zoom. I wish there was just a command line on th...

So... Im using the latest release version. 9 something? Ill try turning off live errors. Im not sure which Linux you are referring to but on Ubuntu 18.04, from what I'vefound and read, you have to switch zoom on and off on the tool bar, its a single set zoom factor, and the scrolling around isnt the...

So the best solution Ihave found is instructions for running a virtual second X screen and VNCing to it with a screen multiplier. But its a real pain int the butt. Ive tried running under Windows but, frankly, the editor performance is awful. So far Im pretty underwhelmed at Livecode's cross platfor...

Also, scaling the toolbar makes the text over-run into each other. (see image)

Any way to fix that?

Okay that worked now.

Next question. Is there a way to set a startup script that does this automatically so I dont have to do it every time I open livecode?

I bet thats it because it also blocks out other apps when it runs!

Thanks!

So, that didint help.

Its not crashed becasue it comes back when I close the message box.
Its more like its hidden or disabled.

It does the same thing at the start when the tutorial box is on screen. Its like it thinks it can only have the palette and one other frame visible on screen at one time.

I added a note to the report.

The above suggestions ALMOST works

The current problem is that my menu bar goes away when I open the message window so I cant enlarge the menu bar

The issue is that the entire interface is unusable, not just the stack:

Hi,

I have LC Indy and a new HiDPI Ubuntu 18 laptop. Livecode spins up too tiny to be usable and I haven't found a way to scale it. I already have the desktop scaled to 200% but that doesnt seem to effect LC

Are there any known solutions? Any settings for scaling in LC itself?

Thanks

Okay... after some playing around I think the answer is that I can't read the mouse location on screen when the cursor is outside of any stack.

Is there a lower level way around this to get the real mouse cursor location when its not ontop of a stack?

So... 0,0 just fails, apparently you cannot set it to offscreen on the mac HOWEVER the screenLoc works for centering. So, i *think* my problem in my code that tries to put it where the mouse is, is that Im getting the mouse position in the wrong coordinate system. How do I get the current mouse posi...

But, how do I set the location on the screen of a stack? The code below creates the stack, and if I examine the size and position properties I can see that the Location property gets set to 0,0. But the stack stays where it was created on screen. Do i need to call some form of refresh? This is on OS...

I found this, its a much simpler and easier to work with example.

Wow thats some complex code.

I wish they had made this a bit simpler. It seeme like there aught to be an easier standard solution for making components...
