Problem with 'Lite Sources' after installation of LL 3.6

[Ottawagrant]

I decided to do the hardest installation of Linux Lite 3.6 first. That is the 32 bit version on my netbook. I say the hardest because due to low specifications it'll take a while. The best resolution for display I can get is set for 1024 x 600. When you click on the 'Lite Sources' in the menu you cannot resize the box to fit the screen. All you can do is move it around, but you cannot make the box smaller. As a result once you select your source you can't click on the 'OK' button at the bottom & clicking 'enter' doesn't automatically enter the information. The bottom part of the box is cut off the screen. As a result I have no way to use/set 'lite sources'. Is there a workaround?

[Ottawagrant]

Went with the simplest thing I could think of. Plugged the netbook into an external monitor via VGA. I was able to change the display resolution & set 'lite sources'. So I hope it's a one-shot deal & don't have to do it again, but the problem in Linux Lite is still there. On certain display resolutions some of the setting boxes don't fit on the screen & cannot be resized.

Hi Ottawagrant


I'm doing this from LL 3.4 (downloading 3.6 as I type ) so the shortcut could possibly be different. Post back if it doesn't work.


To move a window with a keyboard shortcut position the mouse over the window and use Alt+F7 on the keyboard.


The location of the keyboard shortcuts are found here.
Menu > Window Manager > Keyboard Tab
Action = Move Window
Shortcut = Alt+F7

In the code, the height is set to 600. Can you edit it to another value eg. 580 or similar and tell me what is suitable. /usr/bin/lite-sources line 72.

Hi Jerry


Congrats on the new release.


For my own understanding. If the code is changed to make it presentable on (Ottawagrant's) 1024x600 display, doesn't that run the risk of making in too small on higher resolution displays?

The difference is negligible, we're talking 20px.

On the Mini (1024x600) a netbook... I modified line 72 Height to 560 (a little cleaner than 580) but looking good!!!
