Try pressing alt+space, maybe some helpful options will come up, like resizing or moving the window. Do this immediately after launching, before some other window gets focused.
If not, you could delete powder.pref.
I'm guessing the window is there, just in an invalid location. -
It does not work. The window immediatly minimizes when the program is opened, even if no other applications are open. I can't alt-tab into the program either.
Nevermind, I had to go into the properties and change the type of window it opened in (it was set to normal window; I had to set it to minimized).Edited 2 times by Fusionftw. Last: 18th Feb 2019 -

Does the release version 94.0 work?
And you tried both of my suggestions? (Deleting powder.pref definitely should have worked) -

What OS are you on that that is even an option? And it's impossible to unminimize after that?
I'm a little worried that other people will see the same problem. Although I've never heard of this bug before. -
I tested your mod as you asked.
Here are some bugs i found,
1)Instant powered electronics don't work properly when using undo.
For eg use my lt2 save and then clean the simulation press ctrl+z.The save works fine when loaded but the same save doesn't work after undoing a cleared simulation.
2)That hidden option only works when resizable window is checked.The option does seem to smoothen things up while in "best" mode but it doesn't do much.
3)Tpt window gets out of screen when change reso is unchecked while resizable window is on.
4)After point 3 is done cursor position is lost.Like the actual cursor is shown somewhere else but elements are drawn farther away from actual point.
5)Menus are still cut from sides even in your mod.
Some other things,
6)The ball element is nice but it doesn't loose momentum,would be much nicer if it stoped bouncing after sometime.
7)!set type INVS BALL makes everything fall so fastly and converted ball doesn't work as expected.
8)Also scrolling menu is slower than official version.It feels laggish.
These were some bugs i found while playing with that hidden option.Not sure if more are present.I will test it more deeply next time.Hope it helps.

Thanks :D. Although I really only asked you to test the hidden "pixel sampling mode" option lol.
1) I'll investigate this soon. You say you cleared the simulation before using undo, that's probably why.
2) It affects both resizable window and fullscreen. You probably need to restart TPT to have it take effect, it's a little buggy with not activating right away
3/4) Hmm I thought I fixed this ... apparently not. And I definitely thought I fixed it for the latest snapshot, but I haven't fixed it there either. I fixed some other causes of this though. I just need to have sdl delete and recreate the window in more cases.
5) I've never seen menus cut out, so not sure what you mean
6) BALL is a really poor moving solids implementation. It has no concept of momentum, so I can't reduce it.
7) BALLs have to be generated with the mouse. Anything else intentionally falls apart because the particles aren't associated as a single object.
8) Yeah, scrolling is different. I think TPT's scrolling is too fast lol. I think I added some settings in powder.pref to control the speed. -
