Spamihilator New Message Display Now Filling Screen.

[Novice22]

Hi.
Best wishes to all.
My new message display was in minimum size which was perfect for me but now the display is taking up the full screen.
I can reduce the size from the top but not from the sides.
Clicking on the small screen icon in the top right hand corner does nothing.
I have always found the site to be extremely helpful and I would appreciate your help once more.
Many thanks.

Hello Novice22!

You’re welcome again!

Could you please be so kind and describe which „new message display“ you are talking of?

Please provide us a screen-shot, if possible, so that we can directly see, what you see.

Cheers,
Chactory

Thanks Chactory.
When I previously clicked on the Spamihilator tray icon it opened in a "minimised" window, only taking up a small section of the centre of the screen.
Now it opens in a "maximised" window, occupying the full screen, and I am unable to reduce the window size.
I can reduce it from the top of the screen but the sides wont drag, and clicking in the top right hand corner of the screen - the minimise- maximise button - does nothing.
Regretfully, I do not have a way of providing a screen shot.
I appreciate that I may not be describing things very well but I am happy to give all the assistance I can in describing the problem.

Hi Novice22!

Now I understand, you’re talking of the recycle window or the training window.

IMHO, it ist most useful to setup Spamihilator in the way to let open the training window by click on the icon. The required settings you can find in the screenshot:

Whatever there has happened with the ini-file, you could try with the following entries, or replace them with your own rquirements.

You will find the Spamihilator ini-file in the folder C:\Users\WIN_USER_CHACTORY\AppData\Roaming\Spamihilator\spamihilator.ini

[TrainingAreaWindow]
ToolbarVisible=1
ShortcutButtonVisible=1
x=6
y=4
width=1354
height=730
maximized=0

[RecycleBinWindow]
ToolbarVisible=1
ShortcutButtonVisible=1
x=6
y=4
width=1354
height=730
maximized=0

Yours sincerely,
Chactory

Sorry Chactory.
I should have explained better.
It is the recycle bin that is opening in full screen, and the
Training Area that is opening in minimised screen.
Both used to open in minimised screen, which I prefer.
Would a fresh download solve the problem?
Just an idea.

Thank you for your patience with me not understanding the problem. If you don't want to try to correct the entries in the ini-file, you could indeed try a repair-installation by starting the setup-file of Spamihilator.

[Novice22]

Thanks Chactory.
It is me who should be apologising.
Unfortunately I am not very good at describing these problems.
I will try the download repair first and if that does not work I will
try the other option.
Won't get to it until the weekend but will keep you posted.
Meantime, very best wishes and goodnight from Dublin, Ireland.

Thank you very much, Novice22. Ireland must be nearly as green and rainy as Schleswig-Holstein.

Thank you very much, Novice22. Ireland must be nearly as green and rainy as Schleswig-Holstein.

It is raining heavily as I write.
The first thing that visitors notice before landing is the lush green
pastures, due to all the rain.
That's how Ireland came to be known as the Emerald Isle.
We get over 200 days of rain a year.

I am getting used to the Maximised window now, Chactory, and I would like to
wait and see how it goes before making any changes that might upset something else.
It isn't that big a problem really, when I think about it.
I am very grateful for your time and help and for the fact that I always get a warm
welcome and a sympathetic hearing whenever I have a problem.
It is always a pleasure to visit the site, and that is much appreciated.

Hi Novice22!

It is raining heavily as I write.

I know this very well, too. It seems I must feel at home, when I would visit the beautiful Emerald Isle some time.

Thank you for your friendly comment, but if you want and if you will find a moment of time, you could find out in the dephts of your computer how easy it is to shape the settings after your needs.

You‘re always welcome!

Yours sincerely,
Chactory

Many thanks for your time and your patience, Chactory.
Also for your many nuggets of advice, which I have taken note of.

Should you ever decide to visit Dublin or Ireland please let me know so that we
may share a drink and a chat.
Nothing would give me greater pleasure.
Lots of good wishes.
