Title: GUI pop-up lost
Post by: Ob on August 06, 2005, 01:23:55 am

All my GUI buttons work except for the Information button, which used to work, but now doesn\'t. When I click it I  hear a click but its pop-up doesnt appear.

I suspect I may have accidentally pushed it off my screen in the heat of combat.

How can I get it back ?

( I deleted both my config and gui files and reinstalled them using the updater, but the problem persists.)


Thanks in advance for any advice.

mmm if its off screen it\'ll only be off slightly, so try upping the resolution to see if its there, if it isnt, you found yourself a nice buggy wuggy you can huggy ^^

I increased the screen resolution and checked all round the frame edges, but no sign of it.

Also I created a new character,  but the same problem persisted.

Perhaps there is a file which can be edited to make the information screen visible ?

The coordinates for GUI stuff are relative to 800x600 and scaled for everything else.  So, resizing the screen wouldn\'t help...

Edit planeshift.cfg and change the infowindow\'s position to (x=0, y=0).  If it\'s hiding, that\'ll fix it.

On reading DaveG\'s post I examined my planeshift.cfg file and sure enough  the info button  had y=600,   which was substantially bigger than any of the corresponding values for the other task bar buttons.

I edited it to y=200.

Am delighted to report  that I can now see my information pop-up once more !

Thank you DaveG and Demarthl.
