Cosmo opens off the screen???

cosmo opens off the screen, making it completely unusable

[Lord Kane]

Have you tried Alt, space, m then using the curser keys and the mouse to move the window?

Hi!

That happens to me, too! I have to set my screen resolution to the fullest it can go, and then drag it to the top-left corner, and change my screen resolution back. Obviously Ficedula has a high screen resolution! If Ficedula wants to fix it, then he should set the main form screen position to the screen center in the 'Object Inspector' settings. However, I think Ficedula just overlooked this, as he is about 200 times better than me at Delphi, not to mention all of the other languages which I don't do.

I've got that problem also...
Well xerouxi and infern00b, your best bet is to change your screen resolution to fit it, mine worked at 1024x768. If that doesn't work, ask ficedula or Seph3D. I'm sure the could help.

1. Press Alt+F to open the "File" menu.
2. Press Left Arrow Key once.
3. Select "Move" command from the menu.
4. Move the mouse and you will see the Cosmo's main window stuck with your mouse pointer~~~ Click once more, the window will be settled.

Does Cosmo remember the window position once you've moved it on-screen (so you only need to do that once?). If not, I can give you a patch to sort out the problem.

[Jeff Chen]

But it happen when I run the tool for the first time.

Readme said Cosmo store its windows settings in the Windows directory. I guess when you run Cosmo for the first time, it will do something wrong on window positioning.Maybe that's the point.

[Synergy Blades]

Yeah, my laptop is @ 1024x768 and I had a hard time moving the window back on to the main screen. It would be handy if it could open in the top-left on first run...?

[ficedula]

Um. I haven't got FF7 or any of my tools installed at the moment, so I can't easily do any updates.

OTOH, there's a simple patch for anyone who hasn't managed to get it viewable already...

Create a file in your Cosmo folder called FORMS.COSMOSCRIPT and put the following lines in it:

Code: [Select]


VCLSelectForms frmTextView
VCLAlter Left 0
VCLAlter Top 0


That should make Cosmo appear at the top-left of your screen whenever you start it. I could put the script in the archive, but then it'd already appear there rather than remembering its position correctly...

[A bit dissapointed...]

None of this works for me   :weep:
Nobody that has another idea of what to do?

By the way,what is ment by "File"?
Does it mean any file or a special kind?

Create a "file" with the name "FORMS" and the extension "COSMOSCRIPT"
