Title: Resizing cgminer window
Post by: autonomous42 on June 11, 2013, 06:57:23 PM
Searching is fruitless, I've found. I want to make my cgminer window larger as the number of cards I have cuts off information. I've seen screenshots of larger windows and I'd like that, too.

cgminer doesn't run in a window, it runs in a terminal (the terminal itself may run in a window, or it may not). You must set your terminal to the desired size before running cgminer (the procedure for doing this depends on what terminal program you are using); resizing your terminal while cgminer is running will not work correctly.

If you're on windows and launching the command prompt, you can right click the title bar, select properties, and in the "Layout" tab alter the screen buffer size (line width and scroll history) and the window size (viewport size).

There are ways to launch cmd.exe by passing parameters to it for things like colors.  It seems like I used to make a shortcut for a cmd window that came up resized and spiffily-colored, but I don't recall.  I use Linux now so it's been a while since I cared how Windows cmd works.  I have to use it still, but I don't spend enough time to customize it.

HTH.

Thanks for the tip. But then this happens: The window is larger but cgminer prints to the same area. I want to be able to see all the information that is cut off.

Kind of off topic but how did you get that epic address in your signature?

I was able to make it work by changing the settings on CMD - Properties -"Layout" tab - "Window Height". I changed it from 25 to 50. It did require me to stop and start CGMINER (cmd) but when it started again the window was larger and CGMiner took up the whole thing!

Thanks NEcom for the answer and thanks autonomous42 for asking - I'd been searching around for a while with no luck.
