Hi Gary,
Which operating system do you use?
PyMOL 1.x was hard coded to place the window in the upper left corner of the
screen. PyMOL 2.x leaves window placement up to the operating system (window
manager). E.g. KDE on Linux places the window in the least occupied screen area
(my favorite), MacOS always puts it in the center of the screen.
If you're launching from the command line, you could also specify width and
height like this, which is applied before the window manager places the window:
pymol -W 1350 -H 950
PyMOL 2.1 will bring back the "window" command (it's non-functional in 2.0),
which hopefully will resolve the issue for you. It will allow you to fit the
window back onto the screen after resizing.
# pymolrc:
cmd.viewport(1350, 950)
cmd.window('fit')
A pre-release build of PyMOL 2.1 is available here: https://pymol.org/alpha/
Cheers,
Thomas
