Java programs are notorious for being unable to account for the screen space taken up by the Windows task bar. The toolkit mechanisms for retrieving screen size do not account for the Windows toolbar, at least not in the JDK versions I've worked with. I've seen some hack fixes for the problem, but none have worked very well.
It seems to me that IDEA remembers any changes you make to the window size. Isn't it possible for you to manually resize your IDEA window to a size that works for you? When you shut down and re-start IDEA, doesn't it restore itself to the same size you last set manually? - Tim > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Erik Hanson > Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 12:56 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Eap-list] IDE Options dialog box too big on small screen > > > RE: [Eap-list] IDE Options dialog box too big on small > screenDoherty, Michael > wrote: > > Try right clicking on your toolbar --> Properties --> Auto hide > > Yeah, I know about that feature, but I don't like it.
