Hi again Thomas I think this is a pretty good solution: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fp-winmngr/ Just download and unpack the program in any folder. Execute FP Windowmanager and press the Hide button. From now on, to move the top window anywhere just press Win+Alt+Cursor keys It does work pe

@NoOp I didn't say he was. I said this should be fixed because this will affect netbook users (and it is quite easy since there is a lot of wasted space on the dialog) Maybe Thomas is simply using a Theme with a Large Font... -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org

@Thomas You can use this Open Source program to solve your problem http://winsize2.sourceforge.net/en/index.html But I think that the options in the dialog should be rearranged. There is a lot of empty space on the dialog and this creates a problem with low resolution devices such as netbooks.
