Hey there! I see you're having an issue where the Waffle app window looks very narrow on your Windows 11 computer, but Stackdown opens fine. Let's work together to get that fixed for you.
First, to understand better: - When you say the window is narrow, does it mean you can’t stretch it wider by dragging the edges, or is it stuck at that narrow size? - Also, do you use multiple monitors, or just a single display?
In the meantime, here’s a simple step-by-step you can try that often helps with window size issues on Windows 11 apps:
1. Try resizing manually: Hover your mouse over the window edge of Waffle until you see the resize cursor, then click and drag to widen the window. If it won’t let you drag wider, try the next steps.
2. Move the window between monitors: If you have multiple screens, drag the Waffle app window to the other monitor, then resize it there if possible. Then move it back to your main monitor. This trick has resolved similar issues where Windows "remembers" odd window sizes1.
3. Turn off Snap Assist: Sometimes, Windows' snapping behavior interferes with window sizes. You can disable it via: - Settings > System > Multitasking - Turn off “Snap windows”
4. Modify app-specific scaling: - Right-click the Waffle app shortcut or executable - Select “Properties” > “Compatibility” tab > “Change high DPI settings” - Under “High DPI scaling override,” check “Override high DPI scaling behavior” and set it to “Application” - Click OK, then relaunch Waffle and see if the window behaves better.
If none of these work, please let me know if you’ve tried any resizing or scaling fixes already, and if you’re on a single or multi-monitor setup. That way I can guide you with more tailored steps!
