My notebook is also 1024 x 600 and the control center window is cut off at bottom.

The maximum screen resolution on this old Acer aspire One is only 1024X600 that is the main reason I use an external monitor, that and my eyes not being what they used to be. 

I have played with this, and if I modify it to fit 1024X600 resolutions, everyone would have to resize the main window. After playing with this, it's not the best solution. You can edit /usr/share/litecc/litecenter.py yourselves and change:

Code:

window.set_size_request(880, 660)

to

Code:

window.set_size_request(880, 580)

Curious, I've made a similar change, have to look up the exact line, but it resets when theres an update.. Will this stick or possibly revert on a LLCC update?..
No biggie if does just a thought..

After playing around with editing the file:  /usr/share/litecc/litecenter.py as suggested by Jerry:  https://mityer.khdlhfjijfrupr.tk/forums/sugge.../#msg19908

With the 1024x600 screen I find that depending on the panel size you have set you may need a different size for the window, with a panel size of 32, control center worked well with the setting: 

Code:

window.set_size_request(880, 535)

 
With the panel set to 40 like I use it, I had to set the window size to a smaller height.

Code:

window.set_size_request(880, 527)

As seen in the following screen shot.

This will reset when there's an update. If you're really clever, you could run a cron job that sends a sed command every so often to set the window size.

Hi Jerry,

Please don't make the Help Manual link on the desktop permanent. I am a person who likes a very (as in extremely) uncluttered desktop and anything on it I delete or move to my "favourites". I always consider background images are there to be seen, not to be cluttered with icons.

Thank you for a wonderful distro.

Lynne ...

I found my notes from where I modified a while back, it does revert on an update.. But maybe this info may help for future builds... ??? ...

Unmodified: The last row is not accessible/cut off.


One does have to make a slight modification the LLCC css file
Height Modified: from 100% to 85% - Scroll bar is active allowing to scroll down to last row.


For this resolution it works great - on a full size screen there would be a blank area within the box under the icons.

For those interested.. The css file does not require admin rights to modify.
It never hurts to make copy/back up of the file.. Whether in terminal or Thunar
Incorrect context can render LLCC to open with a blank screen
Open the 'main.css' file in the following: (any text editor)

Code:

/usr/share/litecc/frontend/css/

Under the body section modify height from 100% to 85% (or what works best)

Code:

body {
    background-image: url("../images/noise.png");
    margin:0;
    font:13px/14px "Ubuntu", sans-serif;  /*App default font size*/
    color:#8a8a8a;
    
    height:85%;
}

relaunch LLCC



This is what I did and worked from me - probably a few months ago now.. As I mentioned hopefully its helps for future???

It won't be permanent Lynne, it can be removed or added via Lite Control Center.

Jerry.. I played a little this evening - discovered a way to set the LLCC to 1 size (880,660) and allow for the window to be re-sized for us smaller screen folks.
Maybe a work around for smaller resolutions with variant panel settings, as larger screen resolutions wouldn't need this work around - if you're wanting to keep the LLCC a set size..

Modify the same litecenter.py file:

Modifying the original from:

Code:

    window.set_size_request(880,660)
    # Valtam do we need to resize window?
    window.set_resizable(False)

To: (note only 1st and last lines are modified)

Code:

    window.set_default_size(880,660)
    # Valtam do we need to resize window?
    # window.set_resizable(False)

Jerry & Team - We would love the ability for files to have a "Quick Rename" feature where you click on a file or folder name and it gives you the ability to change the name of the file or folder rather than having to right click and select rename from the menu. This has been a Windows feature for quite some time and have always loved it in Windows and use it all the time at work. I suppose this might be a limitation of Thunar but just thought I would bring up.

LL 2.8 is looking good so far.
