LiveCode Forums.

This must be a really beginner question, but I just can´t figure it out.
I can only see two options with Livecode Indy: either to maximize window or minimize it. I need it to be in "restore size" so i can follow along the tutorials without switching windows.

How can I do that?

Hi david,

I need it to be in "restore size" so i can follow along the tutorials without switching windows.

sorry, no idea what you are talking about?
You can set e.g. -> the rect of stack "xyz" 50,50,500,500
to "re-store" the window to a certain size.

Hi Klaus, I explained myself poorly, sorry.
I am watching tutorials online about LiveCode but I can´t split my screen in a way that I have website window on the left and LiveCode window on the right because LiveCode has no option to resize window, it only has option for maximize or minimize.
By the way I am using Microsoft Windows 10.

@Klausimus



(1) would be minimize / maximize
(2) would be restore (middle button that looks like a window).

What I *think* visualDevelop is actually having a problem with is the backdrop being on.

@visualDevelop , go to the 'View' menu, and uncheck 'Backdrop' if it is checked. You should then be able to see both the lessons and your IDE at the same time.

If I am wrong, please repost the question

"Backdrop" was actually blocking from seeing other windows. I unchecked and it worked!
It is the first time I work in such an environment.

Thanks bogs

Glad it helped

Nice that you also speak latin (mus = latin for mouse) but my nick is completely GERMAN -> Klausimausi

Huh, I actually thought it was Japanese myself Google Translate only shows it making sense in Lithuanian (="I asked"), but who knows how accurate GT is

OOOOOooooowwwww, watch where you point that thing

Romani, ite domum!

I am home...oh wait, I'm not Roman hee hee

If in Rome, dress as Roman does!

Well, I *do* have some Scotch ancestry, that close enough?

If one of them ever ate pasta or the like, that will be OK!

Well, I have some Italian mixed in, so I guess that works
