Curse

i was trying to drag the bottom right corner of the dye window, where you can resize windows via the little grip down there, and it snapped to a thinner dimension, the exact opposite of what I wanted. All efforts to resize the window horizontally have failed.

How can i get it back to the default size? Why did it shrink horizontally?

so no ideas? why report stuff here, does anet even read this forum?

I have no idea... keep trying to drag it wider? I guess? =\

if you press alt + enter and press then on resize (right at the top) ?

Sorry, but how does that help the OP to resize their Dye Preview pane? All Alt+Enter does is switch between fullscreen and windowed mode.

This may not work for that, but It has worked for me in the past.

Open the dye window, then hit f11, go to interface, change something, then hit restore defaults.

that might work, but only useful if you haven't got a hugely customized interface.

No, they changed the max size of the window in one of the updates.

Hmm can someone post a shot of their dye window and I'll dig one out of mine to see if they are different. If anet made the preview area smaller, well thats just stupid.

I have seen no changes with the dye window, but I haven't tried to resize it either.

Check to see if it's listed in the UI Element listing in the Options Menu. If it is listed reset it to default.

wtf you cant resize it like this u got limits what are you talking about >?!

Imaginos · Nov 20, 2006, 05:26 AM // 05:26

and here is an illustration of what has happened.

Kuldebar Valiturus · Nov 20, 2006, 06:21 AM // 06:21

Err, you have 2 DYE preview windows?

And dragging the lower left corner is a no-go, eh?

Hope you opened a trouble ticket on it.

No that is a photoshopped image showing the difference in my 2 dye windows. The messed up one is smaller horizontally then the old window, which is being used as a back layer to show the difference. I thought the text on the image explained that.

Yeah i got a canned response from Anet as usual. Perhaps I'll open another and send them the image for what little good it will do

Well, it certainly sounds like a bug, the window obviously wasn't meant to be resized but wasn't "totally" disabled and now you seem to be stuck.

I would mess around with my dye window to see if I could replicate the problem...but I'd rather not be stuck in the same boat.

Imaginos · Nov 28, 2006, 03:35 AM // 03:35

If it wasn't meant to be resized then why the hell did they add the resize tab at the bottom?

Just something to try...in Windows, you can double-click on a header to maximize/restore a window...have you tried that to see if that works inside the game?
