InkAlchemist1994 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I've found it very hard to find useful, straightforward solutions to various problems with LDD, so I'm starting this thread as a place for everyone to post their tips and tricks to making LDD work for them!Make LDD display properly in Wine under Ubuntu (and other Linux systems) I've had this problem for a long time where the bottom portion of LDD doesn't get displayed. With most programs this wouldn't be an issue, but with LDD, that means I couldn't use the 'Expand dividers' and the 'Filter bricks by color' buttons, and the divider size slider because they weren't actually on the screen. Additionally, the brick info at the bottom of the screen was also not there, which is extraordinarily frustrating! Well, lucky for you, I figured out how to fix it! Open a terminal and type: xrandr | grep "current" You'll see a line similar to this, showing your current screen resolution. Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1366 x 768, maximum 32767 x 32767 Now type: winecfg In the window that pops up, go to the 'Graphics' tab, and select the checkbox labeled 'Emulate a virtual desktop'. For the Desktop Size, enter in the resolution from Step 2, but subtract some from the height. I suggest about 100 pixels. Click 'Apply' and close the current window. Go back to the terminal and type: wineserver -kNow when you open LDD, you should see the entire program! You may have to mess with the height in winecfg, but now you know how to go about fixing the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rakrondewl Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) You probably already tried this, but you couldn't just "restore down" and stretch it to fit your screen? When I open my LDD the bottom is behind the taskbar, I just click restore down and stretch the page if necessary.

InkAlchemist1994 Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Minimizing the window and then dragging the corners does not solve the issue for me. In fact, when dragging the corners, the content in the window resizes, but the hidden portion just isn't there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting. I am sure if someone runs into the same issue, the information you provide here is invaluable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
