The Powder Toy

HELP! I am stuck in Big Window Mode!

  • TysonKan     2nd Aug 2011 Member 0 Permalink
    Yesterday I was goofing around and connected my laptop to my 52 inch TV to play TPT on, but it only took up less than a 4th of the screen. So i set it to Big window mode, which also helped with my somewhat minor near-sightedness. Today I unhooked my laptop to play tpt from the couch, but when i went to open it, i couldn't drag the window high enough to click the settings button to go back to regular size window. Is there a console command for this? It takes forever to hook my laptop up to the tv.

    Please Help!

    Delete powder.def which should be in the same folder as powder toy.

    If you want to do that from console(and by that I hope you mean CMD/Command Prompt/Terminal) you can.
    1) Use cd to change the directory to your Powder Toy directory(e.g. cd C:\Users\You\TPT).
    2) Use the del command to delete powder.def (e.g. del powder.def)

    it happened to me, if you have a mac, your App Bar will show TPT, right click and force quit, when you reopen it will be normal

    EDIT:
    mine was not connected to a tv though, i just hit the big window button and it got too big for the screen (my screen being 13in) so this is how i fixed it

    If on Windows, not wanting to delete powder. def?

    Route 1
    1. Find the Command Prompt ( Start - All programs - Accessories )
    2. Drag your "powder.exe" into the command window.
    3. Add a space and write "scale:1" into the window.
    4. Press ENTER.
    Route 2.
    1. Create two shortcuts for Powder.exe ( right click -> Create shortcut )
    2. Go to Properties ( right click -> properties )
    3. Edit the "Target" field. Add "scale:1" (without quotes) to the end
    4. Press apply and ok.
    5. This new shortcut now resets the size of TPT.
    Route 3.
    (in the making)
