Configuration problem

beanpole136 · Post by **beanpole136** » Sat Apr 12, 2008 5:18 pm

I was messing around with the Wine Configuration, and I accidentally set the dp to be way too high. I didn't know what this would do, and saved the settings. When I went to change it back, the window was so big, I couldn't reset the dp to default. Is there any way to reset the Configuration on the command line, or in a text file?

Looks like time to remove that option from winecfg.

I agree. Is there some way to reset all of the settings to the defaults?

Sure

Code: Select all

rm -rf ~/.wine

Perhaps a GUI warning about changing the DPI would be more appropriate...

Not really. It should either be limited to 150DPI max (in winecfg). Or removed completely as was done with BPP option.

I think a either a warning if the DPI exceeds 150, or a little
description in winecfg about what DPI is/does would be sufficient.
Windows allows up to 450, and on some larger monitors, using above 150
is necessary. We shouldn't make this hard to adjust, especially
considering how common these monitors are nowadays...
