Changing to window mode

Post by btd64 »

Hello people,
I have finally got Tracker to work and I changed my switches to window mode. px1366 and py768. I have searched for an answer with no luck. See picture below to see my problem at the bottom of the screen. Thanks for your assistance....GP

Try reducing the px and py a bit. It looks like you have them set to take up more than your available screen real estate, so they go off the screen. You can also set the task bar to auto hide in Windows. It will disappear unless you move the mouse to the bottom of the screen, but that might interfere with scrolling in the game.

Bill, The 1366 and 768 is the max setting for my laptop. I tried reducing and it didn't work. The screen got narrower from the left and right. The top and bottom didn't change....Will try again....GP

Try using pxf and pyf. I don't recall exactly how it works, but if I remember right, with px and py there is some flexibility in the actual X and Y used, but with pxf and pyf, it will use those settings and not adjust them. I recall when I first used them I had to use the pxf and pyf settings.

I guess I've been lucky with cats. I've never had one who jumped up where I didn't want them to. At least not twice.

The current cat is too old to jump (pushing 20), so he isn't getting into anything he isn't supposed to.

The one who took a stroll across my laptop is about two years old. She has a lot of personality. but can and does get into trouble. Likes to look out the window too.[8D]....GP
