[GRASS-user] Specify window size when grass invoked

GRASS GRASS user
1

I'm running grass-8.x on a laptop with a 14" screen. Starting grass within a
virtual terminal opens a GUI window that exceeds the monitor's width and
height. Is there a place where I can define the window's geometry globally?

I don't see a config file, such as ~/.grassrc.

TIA,

Rich

I don’t see a config file, such as ~/.grassrc.

On my system it’s ~/.grass8/wx.json, a json formatted config file.

I think you should try to resize with the “handles” on the window corners. Then using the menu “Settings->Preferences” check the option “Save current window layout as default”, and click “Save”. That should keep the window size for next time.

TIA,

Micha,

Same here. I didn't use more characers, only .grass.

Will do. Thanks again,
