Layers tab in the twilight zone.....

[spinningwood]

I've been running aspire on an ultra wide hi res (3440 x 1440) monitor. I set windows scaling to 150% so I can more easily read the text in Aspire.

I like to pull the Layers tab outside the aspire main window so it is always visible and easily accessible. With scaling set to anything other than 100%, the box that shows were a tab will end up while dragging is way off. It's annoying, but I learned to live with it.

Recently I added a 1600 x 900 monitor above my main monitor for some graphics work I'm doing. I thought "why not drag the layers tab up there and then I can maximize Aspire on the main screen?". Unfortunately, because I'm never sure where the tab window will end up after dragging (when you have scaling <> 100%) it is possible to drag the tab so far that it is off the screen when you drop it. So, now I've go my layers tab halfway off my secondary screen and I can't figure out how to get it back on screen.

Any ideas on how to get my layers tab back on screen?

Solved my own problem. I run with "Save Tab Layout" set to "yes". Fortunately I hadn't closed Aspire with the Layers tab lost off screen. I changed "Save Tab Layout" to "No" and when I closed / restarted Aspire the Layers tab was docked on the left bottom again and I could access it.

I guess people with really good eyesight don't need to use windows scaling to be able to read text on a hi res monitor. Sadly, I'm not one of them. I guess I'll send a note to support asking if they will take pity on me and have a look at how Aspire runs when scaling <> 100% in windows.

Had a similar problem a few years ago (not with aspire)

Do a google search for something like "How to move window to main screen"

Everything in Windows is well, a window. Hopefully someone will come along with a quick way to help you out, but in the meantime, remember, GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND!

Google was not my friend in this instance. Before posting here I had searched and tried a number of suggestions on how to deal with an off screen window. It seems that those solutions only work on parent windows. The layers tab window is a child of the Aspire parent windows and it seems to be beyond the reach of the solutions that google came up with for me.

I can't see a thing on my 1920x1080 monitors at standard resolution without my glasses. With them on it's crystal clear. Might be time for an eye test.
