@Coolman Have you tried replacing _ScreenMove ... with _FullScreen plus adding escape code because the X box top right won't be showing, still there is always Alt +F4 for esacping a full screen app.... I think it will solve small font size nicely! Even if ratio is off it's kind of cool to see tall or fat font.
Code: (Select All)
Sub OpenWindow (WinWidth As Long, WinHeight As Long, title$)
Screen _NewImage(WinWidth, WinHeight, 32)
_FullScreen '_ScreenMove 100, 20 ' <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< one simple change
_PrintMode _KeepBackground
_Title title$
Color &HFFFFFFFF, screenBC
Cls
End Sub![[Image: Full-Screen-GUI.png]](https://i.ibb.co/0Kfk6by/Full-Screen-GUI.png)
PS the $resize option I think is if you want to drag borders in or out to make more room or less on screen, it won't change font sizes.

Good to know direntry.h works in source folder but I like to keep it with QB64.exe folder so I only need to keep one copy of it and use from any source folder.
That cute spider is from a program I was running by a Shell _DontWait option from the Get Filename GUI appl. I selected the file shown in the screenshot and ran it. The program is a gag graphics that takes a picture of your desktop and draws a spider spinning a web over it. I will post that in my Proggies Thread for you.

I've downloaded direntry.h and now it works with direntry.h and source file in the c:\qb64 folder but not in a separate folder. I'll see how it progresses.

Did you set it up accordingly in the editor?
Run -> Output EXE to Source folder

Ok, the program is running, but where is the "cute" spider?

Thanks! Wonderful, it crawls across the screen.
But hard to stop.
RE: Very Simple GUI - Coolman - 06-17-2022
@bplus. thank you for your answer. i see what you mean with the full screen mode. yes it's more readable but it's not the solution i'm looking for. in fact, i was planning to develop a video encoder associated with ffmpeg or handbrake with a minimalist interface in a small window always visible in the screen. i think i'll rather use lazarus-freepascal for this development. good luck for your project.
RE: Very Simple GUI - bplus - 06-17-2022
@Kernelpanic is it possible that you already have a direntry.h file in your QB64.exe folder, that would explain why having it in source folder seems to work. I recall having problems with .h files (without paths) in source folder.
I will test myself but this requires I remove or rename my direntry.h file in qb64.exe folder for test.

No, the file is just in the same folder as the source file.

Confirmed, I renamed the direntry.h file in QB64.exe file, then put a copy of direntry.h in folder with GUI - Get Filename project and it ran just fine. I was surprised how far along that spider was with it's web, must be that Optimized Compile option I am running in v .0.8.2 ! It makes a difference!
BTW those file and folder lists are pretty fast as well, consider I run the lists to get arrays, join the arrays to get strings then resplit the strings to get arrays again, that's a fair amount of processing,

So can one stop the spider simply with "x":
Code: (Select All)
While InKey$ <> Chr$(120) 'ASCII Nummer fuer x, stoppt das Programm
