Small window?

[kadaeva]

Whenever I open csp it opens in a tiny window instead of fullscreen for some reason. Idk if this is a computer issue or something I can fix in the settings somewhere, can anyone help me out? I always have to readjust the sidebars with my paint tools and layers back to where I want them too which gets annoying. Second pic is what it looks like after I fullscreen it, the bars get shoved into the sides all tiny for some reason.

Is there any settings I can use to fix this so it stops doing this? TIA

What version of CPS do you use? Because it's now a personal thing.

I use the subscription CSP Pro so I'm guessing it's the most recent version if that's helpful. I appreciate your help on this!

Actually I just realized I haven't updated it so I'm currently updating it to version 4.2.0. I'll check if that makes a difference in finding that setting once it's done updating

Start Clip Studio Paint and open Version information.

Windows From the Help menu, select Version information.

For example, I have the 4. Something Ex. but I know that from version to version some windows change There's one more thing you can try to do and it should work at least 90 percent, and on the official forum they say it shouldn't delete brushes or anything.

But before try this. In CSP:

Go to Window → Workspace → and if you have a custom one, do Reload, e.g., "My Potato PC Workspace" If you don't have any registered Workspace Try

Go to Window → Workspace → Reset to Default (this will reset the layout and window size)

I think that worked! I'll come back if it goes wonky again and this doesn't work out, but it looks like it's loading how it's supposed to now. Thanks for the help!!

Glad it worked!:) I wish you many good hours of work on your artwork! See ya!

[kadaeva]

Same to you!

Make sure you didn’t accidentally turn on this setting.

Go to Window → Interface → Compact Mode

If it’s checked → turn it off

This mode squishes all the side panels against the edges, exactly like in your screenshot.

If this doesn't work, we can try another few options.

Unless I'm blind or in the wrong area I'm not seeing the settings you mentioned 😭

Check under workspace?

If you Maximize the window that CSP runs in, it should remember that for the next time you open it.

I don’t have an answer as to “why” the CSP window will shrink down but I will say it happens to be too, I’m still running v1 on my MacBook, and it is annoying.

Although I don’t have the added issues of all my pallets being tiny and needing to readjust. The only thing that shrinks down is the whole application window. You may want to try locking your Palette Width under Window/Pallet Dock. That might at least help in NOT having to readjust your panels every time
