"OK" button always out of the screen (small screen) with Nemo

#1 Post by oops »

Hello,
Does a way exit, for a small eepc screen, to place at the center of the screen the windows "File Conflict" see below (because the "OK /Replace" button is always out of the screen, and I have to move it each time): like the second image.

In Settings > Window Manager Tweaks > Placement tab, is placement in center enabled?

Not sure how you can squeeze those window itself. Is that 1024x600 screen, or something like that?
Might be you can try something like this xrandr magic:

Code: Select all

xrandr --output $(xrandr | grep -m1 -E '\Wconnected' | cut -f1 -d' ') --scale 1.1x1.1

@Jerry: Yes

Good trick fehlix, I see all now, but unfortunately I can not click on the button (not allowed for my mouse) ;-)
and the characters become fuzzy ... So I had to revert to scale 1

Code: Select all

xrandr --output $(xrandr | grep -m1 -E '\Wconnected' | cut -f1 -d' ') --scale 1x1
... Yes it is a: 1024x600 screen

Code: Select all

$ /usr/bin/xdpyinfo | grep dimensions
  dimensions:    1024x600 pixels (268x157 millimeters)
Thank you anyway for the help.

Sometimes I'm able to Maximize the window.

Other times resizing the window to include the off screen portion. Usually options pages and sometimes they retain the size.

Scrolling and sliding windows is a pain. The price of great portability. :)

If you move the mouse into the window and then press the ALT key you can oftentimes (not always) move the window.

Press and hold Alt key,
Press and hold Left mouse button over window
and move the window;
release to place.

Same as above,
But use Right mouse button to move window.
