Messed up panels in older plugins - fixable?

[WaveRider]

Greetings,

I recently dug through some older plugins and I noticed how some of them have buggy panels i.e. panels that are extremely tall or wide so that you can't reach elements on the UI or confirm your inputs. Is there any way to (externally) force LW panels to a certain size and/or position?

You could try fiddling the ui_screen_scale_factors parameter:

"C:\Program Files\NewTek\LightWave_2020.0.2\bin\Layout.exe" --ui_screen_scale_factors=1;1.333 -0

In this example I use "1;1.333" to compensate for the 33.3% higher resolution of my 2nd screen, on the right side.
Works in Modeler too.

--ui_screen_scale_factors=1;1.333

Thanks! I assume the ui_screen_scale_factors switch only works with newer version of LW?! 2015 (and anything older) does not seem to recognize it.

Yes,

This was introduced in 2019 version
