Troubleshooting

These items may solve your problem. Please check those you've done by changing - [ ] to - [X]

• [x ] Searched main docs for your problem www.PySimpleGUI.org
• [x ] Looked for Demo Programs that are similar to your goal. It is recommend you use the Demo Browser! Demos.PySimpleGUI.org
• [x ] None of your GUI code was generated by an AI algorithm like GPT
• [x ] If not tkinter - looked for Demo Programs for specific port
• [x ] For non tkinter - Looked at readme for your specific port if not PySimpleGUI (Qt, WX, Remi)
• [x ] Run your program outside of your debugger (from a command line)
• [x ] Searched through Issues (open and closed) to see if already reported Issues.PySimpleGUI.org
• [x ] Have upgraded to the latest release of PySimpleGUI on PyPI (lastest official version)
• [x ] Tried using the PySimpleGUI.py file on GitHub. Your problem may have already been fixed but not released

Detailed Description

MSS influences the size and the usability of GUI created by PySimpleGUI. The GUI gets unusable. Don't know if this is a issue of PySimpleGUI or MSS. Corresponding issue on mss-project: BoboTiG/python-mss#259 (comment)

Code To Duplicate

A short program that isolates and demonstrates the problem (Do not paste your massive program, but instead 10-20 lines that clearly show the problem)

Short script to reproduce the issue. Press the button to see the issue:

import PySimpleGUI as sg

if __name__ == "__main__":
  window = sg.Window("bug", layout=[[sg.Button("Run mss")]])

  while True:
    event, values = window.read()
    if (event == "Run mss"):
      mss = mss()

Screenshot, Sketch, or Drawing

None, see example

MSS will set DPI awareness to capture full screen on Hi-DPI monitors.

from mss import mss
import PySimpleGUI as sg

sg.set_options(dpi_awareness=True)    # Add this option to same as in MSS
window = sg.Window("bug", layout=[[sg.Button("Run mss")]])

while True:

    event, values = window.read()

    if event == sg.WIN_CLOSED:
        break

    elif (event == "Run mss"):
        mss_object = mss()

window.close
