Setting the EXACT Window Size

To set the EXACT Window Size

You can customize the size of both the main EXACT window and individual windows within EXACT.

To set your EXACT screen to the maximum size:

To make the main EXACT window smaller:

To make the current open window smaller:

Maximise button

Restore Down button (main)

Restore Down button (window)

The restore down button will restore the window to the last size it was before it was maximised.

Once you restore the window down,

  1. Hover the mouse cursor over the edge of the window you wish to move; the cursor will change to a double-sided arrow: Double-sided arrow (drag screen edge)
  2. Holding the mouse button down, drag the mouse pointer (and window edge) to where you want the edge of the window.
  3. Repeat for any other sides of the window you wish to change.
  4. Some windows can also be resized by clicking on and dragging a corner of the window with the mouse, in which case the cursor will appear at the corner: Cursor in corner
    Drag the cursor diagonally to resize the window in two dimensions at once, and retain the window's proportions.

    NOTE: A few windows in EXACT (usually dialog windows or messages) are fixed in size and cannot be changed like this. In these cases, the cursor does not change when hovered over a border, and the window controls illustrated above are not present.
    If you make a window too small, some fields or buttons may disappear off the edge of the window, and be inaccessible until the window is resized. However, you can easily temporarily resize the window in these cases, or hide the window.
