Hello,

I need your help. I activated the full screen mode on kstars, but from since i cannot out from it. I tried to activate/desactivate the full screen mode on the menu view but nothing does. Anyone know a trick to restore the kstars window to the normal size ?

Thank you.

Top menu "VIEW" then toggle FULL screen mode. Most software works with an ESC key hit... but Kstars doesn't.

That's pretty curious

Try Alt + space and reduce ... Windows or Ubuntu what do you use ?
When I try to make some change shorts cut , Kstar bugs and closes ... may be a way to follow ?!!!

Hi,
Edit the file : .config/kstarsrc
In section [Ekos] there is lines EkosWindowHeight=700 and EkosWindowWidth=900
Set the values to 700 and 900 and then run KStars and see what happens, the main window should be 700x900.

Thank you Markku. I changed there values and like magic the window is normal.

I'm little crazy, i tried again to toggle to full screen and it's work fine now.

Now, the good question is why when i toogle to full screen, i cannot back in normal mode ?

That's great :)

Well, Ctrl+Shift+f should work as it work for me if the KStars window is in focus, if you press Alt+Tab you should get a window selector so you can get any open window to focus, maybe you can check the control panel settings under the Devices and Keyboard shortcuts if you can find anything there, I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 so the menus is probably different in other distros.
