Minimum window size

[David Serrano]

It's been a long time since I last visited this part of the internet .

I have a bug report in the pipe, unfortunately my ancient Ubuntu isn't able to run PI 1.8 due to the libc version requirement so I'm withholding it until I upgrade my system. That should happen soon (really).

In the meanwhile I run PI 1.7.4 without maximizing the PI window, however I wonder why I'm unable to resize it to less than a given size (namely 1233x746). My desktop is 1366x768 and maximized windows are 1207x768 (due to the gnome panel and another application that is visible on all virtual desktops). You see, 1233 is greater than 1207 so the window is wider than I'd like.

Not a big deal, mind you, just curiosity . Other applications aren't reluctant to be resized to ridiculous and useless values, e.g. my google chrome can be set to as low as 207x63.


Edit: ah, if I close any open image I can resize down to 841x746.

I think the minimum window size depends on the width of the status bar:

I had already found that post in a search before my question, however I somehow managed to understand it talked about the window title bar, and since my windows don't have any title or borders I dismissed it.

Now I reread it and played with some of the bars, and in fact I'm able to fit the window nicely in my available area. Thank you for pointing me to that post again.

On the other hand, that doesn't explain the minimum height of the window .

Hi David,

Nice to see you here again. The vertical explorer selector tabs (History Explorer, Script Editor, ..., Process Console) limit the minimum height of PixInsight's main window. You can close some of these tabs, or move them to the other vertical border, to make the main window smaller.
