is there anyway to move the large tabs from the top control panel to the side? My laptop screen size means the verbose is always below the horizon and requires some window manipulation to reveal the box.

Is this possible? Where can I submit this request?

I have the same problem as you and as you I have no answer to the same question. IS THERE ANYBODY HERE ????

No, it's 800x800 which fits on even small screens.

Thanks for the reply Mutlaqa. I'm using KDE NEON on a 1366 x 768 HP laptop and simply cannot get the Ekos Control panel to adjust to the screen size. Even with borders off I cannot get the entire panel to display. If the tabs across the top were on the left it would free up vertical space and reveal a whole panel.

Hi Jasem,

There is an abundance of window room horizontally on the Ekos Control panel but my 768p laptop screen cuts off the bottom; even with borders removed and on full screen I can only see the first line of the scrolling window. Attached are a few screen shots reflecting the limited view of the lower window. I've searched around for a utility to attempt a rescale of my KDE NEON resolution, to meet the 800px vertical the Ekos Control panel is sized to, but with no success. On an HDMI output to a larger 1080p screen its not a problem however, I use my laptop with my completely mobile astrophotography setup.

Shifting the tabs to the side, while it might be somewhat Ubuntu-Unity-esq, would balance the dimensions and free up the lower scrolling window for us poor, fixed resolution laptop users.

Ok I added an option to Ekos for this.

Ekos is it's full glory. Truly a beautiful sight for anyone with 768 vertical resolution. Thanks Jasem

I had the exact same issue and I am glad that Jasem added that button. It is better now but I still have part of the screen not showing. Beside the "button to the left" configuration did you change anything else ? I am also on a 1366 x 768 laptop screen.

I agree Vox45. I have the same screen 1366*768. It is worse with a 7' tablet or smartphone as remote control.

And more, could Ekos be an "independant" feature from Kstars, allowing to manage it like a true software ? In this way, managing windows size should be easier.

Ok after looking carefully at your screenshots I noticed that you also removed the border of ekos (checked "no border" in More Action)

After fiddling a bit I noticed this behavior:

(1) screen is fine BEFORE clicking on "start INDI", I can see the whole screen and Options/Clear button show up



(2) once INDI is started, the "Clear" button is hidden



(3) I click on the losange to shrink the window



(4) when I expand the window then the "clear" button is now half visible (at least I now can clear the log window)



so it seems that even at that resolution we should be able to see the screen as we see it before clicking on the 'start INDI' button... Hopefully this can be fixed.

I think you request for an independent Ekos warrants a new topic. Feel free to create one.
