Maximised window size

Hello
The maximised XYplorer window is a little too large for my screen, which means I have difficulty seeing the first/top/most leftward tree-path tracing. No adjustment arrows appear when I hover the cursor over the perimeter. Any ideas please;
All the Best

I think I know what you mean, and there's a tweak in regards, but could you please post a screenshot first?

Copy-paste the following script in the addressbar and press ENTER.

Code: Select all

::$k='TreePaddingLeft';$s='Settings';$v=0+getkey($k,$s); setkey input("Tree left-padding<crlf>Enter a number", "Positive numbers move right, negative numbers move left", $v), $k, $s; exit nr;
[ed:restart taken care of.]

Hello,
Marco
I've attached a screenshot, which I must admit looks a lot better in that format than it does when i'm working with XYplorer. You see the green path between "This PC" and "Documents" in a normal view I can only just see it.

Thanks for that and excuse the ignorant peasant that I am, but in which address bar am I to paste it?

Thanks.
All the Best

The addressbar above the tree, below the toolbar, that's displaying "Documents\Odds and Sods" in the screenshot.

btw, you can also try setting a darker tracing color (Tools->Config->Styles)

Do what SammaySarkar says (I suggest a value around 18). Then, go to File > Restart without saving, in order to see the change taking effect.

Hello SammeySakar,

Did as you said, pressed enter and got a box with the message, positive numbers move right,negative numbers move left. So I thought aha, I need to move right, away from the border so I put in a 6 and pressed OK, nothing discernable happened so I repeated with +6, nothing happened again. Now I began to think, is it the padding I'm trying to expand, should I try to move left? I stuck in -20 but no result.

Did better with recolouring, the path is now a dark blue and is easier to see.

Thanks for your help, it was a mere detail really and no great inconvenience, so for my part I'm happy to close this thread here, but if you have anything to add I should be pleased to hear it.

All the Best

As I finished writing this I saw Marco's post, did as Marco said and it all worked like a dream.

Well thanks to the both of you I am now sorted.

Thanks again,

nebb
