Possibility to resize the AppleWin window size?

[wyatt-wong]

Is there s possibility to allow resize the AppleWin window size? I am using an old version of Microsoft Surface Pro and my current resolution size is 2736 x 1824. When I open AppleWin with its default Windows size, I can't see the bottom of AppleWin

Maybe it's opening in double (2x) size - try pressing Ctrl-F6 to toggle back to 1x. Or is it fullscreen? In that case F6 toggles window/fullscreen. Cheers, Nick.

It is not in full screen and I want to capture the screen shot with Fn + PrtScr but it triggered the debugger screen of AppleWin. To shrink it to 1x isn't good enough for me.

May I know why AppleWin disable the window resize function ? What's the rationale behind ?

You can disable AppleWin taking control of the PrtScr key by using the -no-printscreen-key command line option, eg:
> applewin -no-printscreen-key

Now when you press PrtScr the default Windows action will occur.

Please attach the screenshot to clarify your issue.

Sorry I haven't power on my notebook these few days. Will try to capture the image for you tomorrow.

Why no option to disable PrtScr key in AppleWin Settings ?

So here is the screen capture

The GUI is already too crowded, and needs an overhaul - see #853.

From the AppleWin.chm (Troubleshooting section), 2x windowed mode needs at least these resolutions:

• Windows 7 requires: 1181 x 808
• Windows 10 (1909) requires: 1181 x 818
• Windows 11 (23H2) requires: 1177 x 805

But you said your "current resolution size is 2736 x 1824" - so the AppleWin window should only occupy a quarter of your screen! Do you have scaling enabled for apps? (IE. Windows: System -> Display -> Scale & layout)

NB. The .png you attached is 2639 x 1811

Would be nice to have a toggle checkbox or dropdown in the video mode settings for 2x windowed.. I do have the resolution for it. Right now it is either 1x or fullscreen (which would be 3x on my display).
