How to restore size LiveCode window? Not maximize!

Post by vizualDevelop » Mon Jan 25, 2021 4:51 pm

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,

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
