Changing Default Story Frame width

[damned]

Hi Guys,

Has anyone seen a way to change the default width for elements like Story when they are opened for the first time?
FG will remember the size of any window you change - but only for that specific window. The next Story will open at the default size.
Id like to set the default size to be 25% wider for easier reading/viewing.

thanks!

There's no way to do that without writing an extension to change the default window size in the window class.

Hi JPG - I was looking to do it with an extension I just couldnt find the right syntax... any pointers? :)

[damned]

Ignore me... I think I have it...

<windowclass name="encounter" merge="join">
<placement>
<size width="500" height="650" />
</placement>
</windowclass>

[Moon Wizard]

Use merge="join" attribute on the window class, then replace the placement and placement.size tags.

When you do this extension, Damned, I would love a copy, if you're willing to share

Of course... it will be a teeny, tiny extension but I will do so.
I was just going to add it to MoreCore and Call of Cthulhu rulesets directly but I will do a baby extension too.
