Interesting :roll: could you please send me a snapshot of the menue bar? Maybe I should give it a neurosurgically try? How does the Menu scale window look like and how does the scale ruler look like and in which direction can I upscale?

Alt.: how can I reset the options? Can I delete a preference file on my Computer & where is it? :crazy:

I reinstalled Algodoo and for this reason bought a new one; but the interface was still small after restarting the program... :clap:

Algodoo -> Contents -> Resources -> config.cfg
I put this config.cfg in the trash bin but nothing changed. Was this the wrong config.cfg? :think:

btw: OSX 10.8.5

In windows version there is a "Reset Algodoo" item in Programs/Algodoo menu folder. Is there something like this in OS X ?

THAAAAAAANKS!!!
Because of your snapshot I worked on my miniature slider in the option-window and managed to grab it and slide it to the right!
Thank you very much indeed!!!

For future reference, that is the wrong configuration file. a quick tip is to open a terminal and run;

Code: Select all
rm -v Library/Application\ Support/Algodoo/config.cfg
