Screen too small can't reach corners to resize

    As ED suggested, it seems to me that Cubase has got the screen XY co-ordinates tucked away somewhere (different ones for each of the 3 plug-ins (8/16/64 outs)) There might be a way to track them down / reset them.

    Does it always happen? How about if you open an old project?

    What happens if you open two instances as above, close the first )the off-screen one) then save the project (with a new name) and close Cubase? Then re-open Cubase and load Kontakt.

    Oh, and hello and welcome to the forum.

    I tried both proposals above, and same thing. Also, this happened while I cross over between two VST's (Kontakt 5 and Trilian), after that I tried everything and nothing.
    This happens always, even in case I open an old project.
    Thank you for your help and replies.

    Guesswork: Have a look at the Vst2xPlugins.xml file (somewhere in the Appdata/Steinberg/Cubase folder, I think) and see if you can see anything odd for Kontakt in there

    Got myself I small netbook which is suitable for scripting while traveling. However it's max resolution is 1024x600 and Kontakt 5 GUI is somewhat truncated in the bottom. I can't reach the keyboard. Tweaking the register's totalGUIHeight with bigger numbers doesn't help (there was 640 initially). Any luck to expand the GUI fully?

    I don't mind if it goes beyond the screen borders, because I found a good utility called MoveInactiveWin, which can grab a window in its any area, if holding Alt button, - and drag it freely.

    You need smaller numbers for totalGUIHeight, not bigger. Try a number under 600.

    Nope. It didn't help either. I tried 258 value, which is 600 in decimal system. Maybe there should be some particular numbers?

    I fixed the problem by connecting a large external monitor to my laptop, dragging the large window onto the external monitor, resizing it there, then dragging it back onto my laptop's smaller screen. Voilà!

    I installed Kontakt 6 into my small laptop computer and I can't see the keyboard of the Kontakt 6 at all.
    I reseted Kontakt from the Interface-section "Reset Size" but it had no effect - I still can't see the keyboard and can't resize the size of the Kontakt from the upper corners of the Kontakt.

    Could you help me the make Kontakt smaller regarding its size ?

    Hi, thanks for your support in this matter. I have a similar situation with kontakt opening outside the screen. But even the options button is outside and it has locked the entire session. Is there maybe a shortcut for options in Kontakt? Is it possible to wright one, maybe? In that case, do you know what command to look for? I have a 4k monitor so it´s not too big for the screen... It some how just snapped into this possition. Have no idea why... Thanks again.
    /Johan

    There are no shortcuts nor possibility to write one. Unfortunately, I'm unsure what to do in your situation. Which DAW is in question? If it has an option for plugin scaling, try disabling it then load Kontakt again.

    Are we talking about windows 10 here and standalone Kontakt? or Kontakt within a DAW (if so which one)?
