Title: Some apps not full screen
Post by: moffatjd on April 24, 2014, 06:16:26 PM

So, I'm new to ubermix, and I like it so far.

The one issue I'm having is that some apps are not full screen, and they provide no mechanism for making them full screen. One example is Tux Paint. My daughter doesn't enjoy painting in a terminal sized window, and I can see no option for making it full screen, or even resizing it so that it's a little bigger. This happens on a handful of other apps too, but not all of them.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

There is an invisible file in the home folder that sets the tuxpaint window size to a fixed value, so that paintings are all the same size. You can undo this by opening the home folder, then go to "Edit:Preferences" and check "Show hidden files". Then double-click ".tuxpaintrc" and delete the "windowsize" line.
