Request: Mantain Size....

Forums: 

I'm running 1.12 in Linux on a small laptop and noticed that Bleachbit always opens up at a large size.

Lower resolutions and small screens, this thing is huge!

Can you please code it so it can be resized and maintain the size?

THANKS

Ya that would be nice to have, although I have a 4K 42" screen and it's actually perfect size for me, but I suppose on lower resolutions it's probably a little too big. Recently, Andrew fixed the issue where BleachBit always appeared in the top left corner of the screen.

In the meantime is there somewhere in the source I can change this?

thanks

Btw your signature;

LOL, why don't you just switch to Linux now?

Because I am a long time Windows user and I have already tried Ubuntu and ZorinOS and neither of them were any thing like how I am use to Windows. The desktops are nice and look like Windows, but it doesn't have the feel and still much of the internal stuff is still Linux style and not Windows. Since ReactOS is open-source and tried to mimic everything Windows has, it is perfect for me.

As to your other question, I am not sure what would need to be changed. We might have to make cache files for it.

@ROCKNROLLKID I hear ya, Linux is a different beast....

Andrew great, I saw that before digging around the files, was hoping something as simple as that. :)

self.window.resize(640, 480) works nice on 15" screens :)

Big Thanks

The fix is committed to Git, and it's ready for testing. If you are on Microsoft Windows, try This feature is ready for BleachBit CI build 2.3.1150 . Otherwise, wait for the next beta release or final release.
