As always lots of kitties at our sanctuary. Hope your kitties are thriving. I love opus naturally, can't imagine pc life without it. My love affair with opus doesn't even begin to embrace the tech capabilities that abound. I just love it for the ease of exploring, managing all the data. So here is a wish that may or may not be feasible. I have a wide screen monitor (desktop) and frequently resizing opus window relating to what is on the screen/moving real-estate around. It would be fabulous to have presets for reducing window size 50%, 25% or even custom presets. If this feature is available I have not been able to find it. Something super convenient that can be set with icons (like you showed me how to do for staying on top).
Reading previous threads I don't see this particular request.
Also not sure why I could not login/did not change pw that I can recall. DO sent a link so here I am. Hopefully I can get back in wink.
Fabulous Leo, thanks so much. I'll play around with it. This will greatly simplify managing realestate. How do ppl even mange w/o DO? Being able to move around in windows easily is an absolute necessity in my world.
Thanks Leo, John...I've looked and looked. I can't seem to find how to enter set command for a lister. How do I enter the set command? I've searched the help files and online. It must be something so obvious it's not listed/but it's not obvious to me. Please remember I am dyslexic so I don't always see something that is perfectly obvious to someone else.
It works like any other command, you can set up a button or hotkey to run it. Or press > to display the command-line and type it in as an ad-hoc command.
Okay, this is fabulous. Took a bit but going over the directions slowly and repeatedly it finally all clicked. Just takes me a bit to 'see'.
Leo your recommendation of 1000/700 is the perfect size...purrfect grin.
Two more questions...how do I make it on/off? And how do I assign an icon? All I see is assign an image.
In all these years of using and loving Opus new possibilities open up which is very challenging and rewarding for me. I honestly don't understand how anyone using windows manages w/o it and I don't even begin to understand all the abilities.

This is a little VB Macro I have been using to change the size of Listers.
It gives you a list of Lister widths to choose, and sets the depth in proportion. (It is easy to change the proportion if it does not suit your needs.)
Obviously the widths will depend om your screen size and your personal choice, but they are really easy to alter in the code.
If it is useful please fell free to bend it to your needs.
More time to reply now. I would love to have buttons (like the one you helped with for toggle on top/toggle off) for few opus window sizes. Sometimes I have 4 windows on screen/sometimes less. Being able to adjust window size on the fly would just be so convenient.
I've been studying the brain for a bit now and have a greater understanding of how brains register/perceive stimulation (audio, visual) so more aware of what I don't see and work arounds, just takes me a bit longer. When I finally 'see' something it's always such a high 5 moment. Learning is fun.
appreciate your help...always do

Oh gosh, this is impressive. The depth in proportion is spot on.
When you say alter in code...where would I find the code?
I won't tie you up with macro lessons...but would like to understand a bit more of how this is put together to broaden my understanding.
thanks again,

Go back in customise mode, right click on the icon and select edit. It should be straightforward from there.
Alternatively, hold down 'alt' and left click the button to go directly into edit mode (this will only work if Preferences / Toolbars / Options / Alt-Click to edit Toolbar buttons is turned on).
