Edge of terminal window region

[martinoforcas]

Hi,

I use NX every day in my work as an engineer.

Many times a day I try to grab the corner of a terminal window to resize it and have great difficulty selecting the corner or edge of the window.

How do I increase the width of the region that the mouse can select?

Thanks, Martin

Hi. Is the ‘Scale to window’ option enabled in the Display menu? If the remote desktop is being shrinked in the window, grabbing a window edge could be difficult if the remote window manager has a tiny sensitive area since it’ll be reduced even more by the scaling down effect. If this is the case you could disable the scaling mode, or configure the window manager to show bigger window frames.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback.

Can I get a little bit more direction on where to find these config windows?

Where is the “Display menu” ?

The Window Manager configuration?

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin.
You can open the Display menu by pressing Control + Alt + 0 and by clicking the Display item.
In order to know if your window manager can be configured to show thick window borders we’d need to know the operating system version running on the server, as this is a system configuration.

Thanks for staying with me on this.

ctrl-alt-0 does nothing on the PC

But is it equivalent to this as per the attached screen capture?

As you see that option causes an error.

I actually use Mate Window Manager.

What version and product of NoMachine do you have installed on the server side? Ctrl-Alt-0 (zero)  activates the NoMachine session menu (or you can use the page peel). See this guide for more information on Display settings that Tor mentioned:
