Screen size on windows10 with 1.16.1

[white_haired_uncle]

When I installed 1.16.1, I noticed some of my preferences were changed (vs 1.14 or 1.15), including the resolution from 1920x1017 to 1920x1061.

I can't minimize, the right panel covers - happens in all resolutions

The end button is hard to hit

I can't minimize wesnoth without going through windows, and it's hard to hit the end turn button (a nasty habit, I know).

Note: If I start in 1920x1061 and flip between full screen and not with the check button, I get the 1920x1061 option, but as soon as a try out any other resolution the only way I can find to get 1920x1061 back is to restart BFW.


First try, where I played around trying to find a better resolution..

And then I restarted for some reason...

I'm not sure I understand the issue, but I think you should be able to go to Preferences, set the resolution to something small like 800x600, and then just resize the window manually (or maximize it).

If the problem is that your title bar has somehow ended up off screen, there are tricks to move the window to fix that. (But I would think that setting the resolution to something small like 800x600 should do this automatically.)

Note also that your version of Windows 10 (1803) is quite old and is no longer supported, so that could possibly be causing issues.

Thanks, I can almost get it back to normal that way (windows won't let me size the window quite as much as I'd like).
