Re: Problem with icon fills entire screen- unusable (V 10.9)

Thanks again. That looks perfect! This wxWidgets code problem doesn't show up for everybody though, including my laptop with the same version of Ubuntu-Mate. I guess the video card/driver matters? Anyway, now what? That doesn't sound like something I can do (or is it?) when compiling (which I don't ...

Re: Problem with icon fills entire screen- unusable (V 10.9)

I see. It's never easy!

Okay, this is with GTK2, right after "Reset Layout" (scaled down from 1920 wide). I can, from the point shown, drag grab handles on several of the elements to improve it somewhat, but this is what you asked for.

Re: Problem with icon fills entire screen- unusable (V 10.9)

Hello and thank you, Zenju! The GTK2 one looked different, and when I reset the layout it looked a little better. It was still all out of whack though, with vertically stretched and compressed elements, and a big space I couldn't fill. I could make it usable by dragging resize-handles, but I couldn'...

Re: Problem with icon fills entire screen- unusable (V 10.9)

Thanks for you help, but I don't see how either of the things in that post would apply to my situation. I don't have a hi-res monitor or two monitors and I don't know what you mean by "The VGA to HDMI convert" anyway. I did try "Reset Layout" before posting but it had no effect, ...

Re: Problem with icon fills entire screen- unusable (V 10.9)

I'm having the same problem on a fresh installation of Ubuntu-MATE. It looks just like the image above, from the first time I ran it on this computer. Renaming the settings file did nothing, and I don't have a high DPI display. I didn't change anything in the display or DPI settings, and everything ...
