[Ri...] Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Is there a way to force Calypso to start maximized? I have Calypso v2022 (latest rev) and it always starts about an inch below full screen. It's the only install like this, all the others are minimally off maximized. It's an OCD thing. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 I have 2018 version and only window which is maximized is Autorun 😠 Nothing i can do 😠BTW those are really ugly emojis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ya...] Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Hey, in Calypso 2024.. the same thing. Always has been that way. Slightly off center 😉   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted November 12 Author Share Posted November 12 I used to be able manually adjust the size of the window to fit as much of the screen as possible manually, terminate Calypso, restart, and it would stay that size. That doesn't appear to work anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[No...] Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Are you using multiple screens? Then you might want to check Windows' screen settings for any offsets between them. These could affect the opening positions of Calypso windows. In our setup the search window in Autorun opens in a position that puts its title bar completely off-screen, so it can't be closed again easily (has no OK button). The cause was an (intentional) slight vertical offset between screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted November 12 Author Share Posted November 12 Norbert, I think you are spot on. IT set this up, I never thought of looking at that. My number 3 screen was above the others in System Display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[No...] Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 I also just stumbled upon this when our new Conturas with two screens both showed the same behavior in Autorun while other single-screen setups with the same Calypso version did not. I'm an ancient-school user who virtually hates multiple screen configs because new windows always open on the screen I'm currently not looking at, and even worse, the mouse pointer somehow constantly escapes to the other screen and I have to look for it. That's why I put that slight offset in to make the mouse stop at the lower right corner of screen 1 when I want to minimize all windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 Would anyone wish for an app to handle that? I can try write small app to be able to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted November 13 Author Share Posted November 13 I would be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 How much you want me to go with multimonitor? For now i have a testing app to see how i will be able to adjust searching for window and maximizing it. Works on my pc with manually selected window.

[Je...] Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 Why multi-monitor when one 49-inch widescreen will do 👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Je...] Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 Additionally, it annoys me that autorun starts maximized. I wish this option were customizable for both Calypso and Autorun. A customized workflow layout would be terrific, especially one that allows multiple windows to be open outside of the parent application and have size and position be adjustable. One can dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ma...] Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 Well this can be done with that app too. Post wishes - i'll try to make them done 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ma...] Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 I got an idea for those big screens. This app could store actual positions and sizes so everytime you open Calypso it will fit onetime to that save location. Something similar came to my mind for feature window to have set location. I am not happy to have that window right around mouse and that other method is not good for me. I've tested that app on Win11 at home - worked. At work with win7 it does not work 😠 ( not showing opened GUI windows ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Je...] Posted Friday at 01:40 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:40 PM Exactly. Customizable workspaces. It's easy to do in Windows using third-party software, but Zeiss has to enable windows in Calypso to be moved outside of the parent application. I encourage them to emulate other modern software that excels at user interface and workspace layout.  Learn from others who are winning at UX (user experience).
