It also provides a full-screen mode.

I'm glad to see that you've worked out several software for resizing issues, and I wanted to update you that with the latest v5.0 release, on http://sourceforge.net/projects/console, I can't Resize nor Move from screen to screen using the keyboard shortcuts I use..

It works fine with Putty, both setposition as well as resize. But on ExtraPutty (a fork of Putty) just the setposition works, but it doesn't resize the window.

Not sure what is different; seems they changed something that is not allowing DisplayFusion to change the window dimensions... ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/resize-of-command-line-windows-putty-command-prompt-doesnt-work/?ID=c9c2fba2-1199-4fa3-af3b-9f190f87101f#13 Fri, 25 May 2012 20:59:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/resize-of-command-line-windows-putty-command-prompt-doesnt-work/?ID=c9c2fba2-1199-4fa3-af3b-9f190f87101f#13 DisplayFusion We've just released DisplayFusion 4.0.1 Beta 6, and PuTTY windows should now be resizeable via HotKeys

Just click on the small process icon next to the window title ( the black "C:\_" icon ), click on "default values" and feel free to modify the layout and color scheme. I modified it to let me command prompt look like this:

I'm also using PuTTy, but not the default PuTTy - instead I'm using PuTTy tray, which also allows some minor modifications to the UI and also supports minimizing to tray by CTRL-Click on the minimize button.

It may be not the optimal solution until DF implements some new logics for console windows, but it may be a temporary workaround for you. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/resize-of-command-line-windows-putty-command-prompt-doesnt-work/?ID=c9c2fba2-1199-4fa3-af3b-9f190f87101f#7 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 02:17:33 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/resize-of-command-line-windows-putty-command-prompt-doesnt-work/?ID=c9c2fba2-1199-4fa3-af3b-9f190f87101f#7 DisplayFusion Might need to AttachConsole() first, if it's possible. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/resize-of-command-line-windows-putty-command-prompt-doesnt-work/?ID=c9c2fba2-1199-4fa3-af3b-9f190f87101f#6 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 19:15:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/resize-of-command-line-windows-putty-command-prompt-doesnt-work/?ID=c9c2fba2-1199-4fa3-af3b-9f190f87101f#6 DisplayFusion I guess we didn't look hard enough

We've looked into it and unfortunately we can't resize putty or command prompt windows. They just do some weird stuff that we can't bypass automatically.

Sorry! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/resize-of-command-line-windows-putty-command-prompt-doesnt-work/?ID=c9c2fba2-1199-4fa3-af3b-9f190f87101f#3 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 19:07:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/resize-of-command-line-windows-putty-command-prompt-doesnt-work/?ID=c9c2fba2-1199-4fa3-af3b-9f190f87101f#3 DisplayFusion Yeah, I was able to position the window too, the problem was just with the resize. I'm only interested in resizing Putty (the Command Prompt was just a test) so if there's a way to fix Putty it'd be perfect.

Putty allows the user to drag the window to resize, so I imagine you can simulate sending events to the window (SetWindowPos?) to have it change its dimensions? Just a guess.. Putty has to also resize the remote terminal, so I imagine that's what it makes it unique.

Anyway, I'd be more than happy to help in any way - testing a beta version or sending debug info or anything. Thanks a lot! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/resize-of-command-line-windows-putty-command-prompt-doesnt-work/?ID=c9c2fba2-1199-4fa3-af3b-9f190f87101f#2 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 18:49:33 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/resize-of-command-line-windows-putty-command-prompt-doesnt-work/?ID=c9c2fba2-1199-4fa3-af3b-9f190f87101f#2 DisplayFusion I believe it was just the positioning that was fixed in the previous thread. However, I can confirm that the resizing does not work with putty. We'll see if we can get that fixed up

As for the regular command prompt, I don't believe it's possible to resize that window, as it has to be done through the command prompt window's system menu. ]]>
