More finely adjustable window size

    I think that something to think about adding in the next update of TPT could be a better adjustable window size. The regular window size is too small for me to see accurately, double window size doesn't work on my laptop's small screen, and I can't see my other windows in fullscreen mode. I don't know anything about C++, so I'm not sure if this is even possible, but I thought I should suggest it.

    Amoast a good idea, exept that a medium size wuld have particles taking up 1 1/2 pixels, ect. so it is not realy possible.

    We could probably clamp the save size to a fixed limit and let users resize the rest as they please. This requires improving the game's composition/layouting part, which I frankly know nothing about.

     if you are like me and run powder toy on a usb stick, I have a large 1920x1080 monitor at home 

    (what im using right now) and I like running the game on full screen, however when I bring it to school and run it on their smaller monitors it floods the screen and makes it impossible to go press the checkmark that disables full screen (I have a tendency of forgetting to disable full screen before I get off) essentially making the game unusable until I return home to a larger monitor, so yeah some better screen tweaking capabilities would be appreciated  :)  

     

    (but who knows maybe their is some config file I can change or hotkey I dont know about which probably makes everything I have typed irrelivent)

    There is no hotkey, but you can go into the console (press '~') and type tpt.setwindowsize(1)

    Resizable simulations would be very difficult and not really work with the current tpt. There is some leeway with the other parts of the interface, but it would also be difficult ...

     I think "powder.pref" is a config file?
