    I need help with this issue that I find irritating. It turns out that widescreen in Jacob 1's mod takes all my laptop's space. 

     

    The issue is something like this:

     

    I am sorry if this image is too big for this post. But I do hope that there will be a solution to this. Thank you for your help.

     

    I need an answer to this vexatious issue.

    The image is a bit stretched ... lol

    Anyway, what is your screen resolution? I thought this was possible but never bothered to fix it yet (it will need fixing in tpt also). You can type tpt.setwindowsize(1) in the console if you can't get into the settings menu to make it smaller.

    @jacob1 The command has succesfully worked for me. However, the widescreen largescreen is still a problem. When I had TPT in fullscreen, I decided to set it in largescreen too. But only to come to the vexatious problem that TPT starting glitching. I was worried that this problem could cause major problems in the simulator and even in my laptop, so I decided that turning off the largescreen mode was the best desicion so far. At least fullscreen was and is not an issue.

     

    My screen resolution is 1366 x 768. I have a feeling that you may also be wondering what my laptop is; it is an HP Pavilion dm4 with Windows 7.

     

    I hope you can still be giving me further help. Thank you.

    Well, the "Double screen size" mode does exactly that, it doubles every pixel. The TPT window is 423 pixels tall, which means your screen needs to be at least 846 pixels for double screen size to work properly. There isn't really anything I can do about that.

    Recently I made it automatically pick double screen size if it thought your screen was large enough, but I think it won't work some of the time. But since the issue was just your screen actually being too small, not selecting the option is all you can do :P. Fullscreen mode is nice sometimes, even though hacky.

    Hm... I have a feeling that I can fix my laptop's resolution with the power of God Mode. I will be back in a while. Maybe way later. 

     

     

    Edit:

     

    It appears that the powerful God Mode was not able to properly fix the resolution to 846 pixels wide. But at least I have found a solution to the largescreen issue.

     

    If you wish to, you can lock this thread becuase it now has an answer. If I have forgotten something important, then I will send you a private message.

     

    Thank you for your help.

    If your screen isn't big enough to support it there isn't much you can do .-.

    Edit: ok
