Can't reach the top bar.

Can't reach the top bar.

Postby MEn » Thu Mar 25, 2010 2:30 pm

So I was playing around with my settings the other day, and I turned on "big icons" or something of the such. After disabling it, the center toolbar overlapped with the top one. I figured that dragging off would work, but it doesn't. I can't make new scenes, save, or alter settings.

Help?
Thanks in advance.

Turn off 'Lock Toolbars' and drag them back. If that doesn't work, delete your config.

I've tried deleting my config. I can't get to my settings because the toolbar is in the way.

I think there's a shortcut key for the options menu, but I don't know it right now. You can try some Thyme to change the GUI size, but I don't know it right now. I think it was posted in the announcement. App.guisize or something.

EDIT: It's GUI.scale = 1. Play around with the size until you can reach the options menu.

That wasn't very helpful. Now they're ALL cluttered into one spot!

You uninstalled it before reinstalling, right?

It's surprising that combot and only combot is actually doing something to help me. Especially since it's combot. You've changed buddy.

Thanks? :P

Which config did you delete, by the way? The one in Program Files/Algodoo or the one in My Documents/Algodoo?

I had this exact same problem.
Close Algodoo.
Open the "config" file.
Press Ctrl-F.
Search for "lockGUI"
Set that to false.
Open Algodoo.
Move Toolbars.
Be happy.

Sorry to break the streak of only combot's assistance, but I knew the problem from experience, so I figured I'd help. Oh well, it's still only P-1337 members, that's kinda a streak.

I find that deleting the config file in My Documents works.

He probably deleted the one in Program Files.

Lol I didn't know there were multiple, my bad.
Thanks guys. It really helped. I can finally start from fresh instead of having to delete everything in the scene and not be able to save it.

Why would you have to delete everything? You could still save with ctrl+s.

Hey, shut up. By delete everything I meant instead of making a new scene.

You don't have to be so arrogant.

Holy mother of a bump!

Fairly sure hotkeys are listed as you hover over an item, Just play around with your keyboard in Algodoo, theres virtually nothing that I know that can go from from doing so, usually repressing the key has the inverse effect when it does something 'bad', e.g. the key combo to enable play mode also disables it.

I don't think there is a list, you just sorta pick it up and it becomes second nature. Theres a few dozen of the normals you'd expect, e.g. CTRL-[C,V,X,N,S]. you can check the config file in Documents/Algodoo, fairly sure that lists a few dozen of the hotkeys if you've got too much time on your hands, open the file using notepad or something and CTRL-F "hotkey"
When asking for help, READ THE STICKIES!
