Using Purebasic on a small screen (5 inch touch screen) :
PB works great, but the sub-windows for settings, as Compiler, Preferences and so, are to big and so a lot of there settings are out of reach.
The windows are to big for such a small screen.
Is there a manner to get rid of these problems (unless waiting on a PB update).
Thanks

Try to change the O.S. Zoom so everything become smaller

Start a VNC server and work remotely (perhaps too slowly) or
Program on the PC and compile on the PI.
File exchange with WinSCP (Window) or under Linux mount the PI drive (sftp://[IP of the PI]).

@Caronte3D
What do you mean changing O.S. and Zoom ?
The OS is Raspbian and that has no zoom unless a few settigns in the appearance...
@mk-soft
I do work with VNC and can do filetransfer both ways, but the problem is the same there. You get the same size of working space.
PB itself does resize, but not it's sub-windows (a lot of gadgets like "OK" or "Cancel"are unreachable).
My 5 inch hdmi screen has a resolution of 800x460 pixels.
I wont to discover how big I can make my own source windows then and how to position or move them, but ...
Some windows are half placed outside the screen and can't be moved... Just maximizing is possible but also no moving afterwords.

I mean changing the DPI but I haven't noticed it's not Windows, I don't know if the PI O.S. have something like that.
Anyway I think your screen resolution is way too small, the best attempt maybe what mk-soft said.

You can also use xrdp.
With this you can set the client resolution to what ever you want. (mstsc on windows for example)
Or an own xserver on windows for example.

Re: Purebasic on a 5 inch touch screen. Problems...
Maybe I explained my problem not so well. Or I do not understand some given solution's.
The 5 inch hdmi screen has a resolution of 800 x 460 pixels.
When, for example opening the Preferences window of PB, it doesn't fit completely on the screen.
The buttons OK and Cancel are outside the screen and I can't move the window up.
Scaling can't be done on raspbian itself. Scaling with VNC or XRDP just delivers a bigger sized screen of the same pixels.
For my own sources I will also have to reconfigure all GUI to this smaller workspace.

Re: Purebasic on a 5 inch touch screen. Problems...
A client for xrdp does not scale the pixels.
If you tell the client to use 1280x1024, then it uses this resolution and does not scale the rasp resolution to this value.
So you can work 'normal' with the PB IDE.
I don't think that you can 'simply' modify the IDE to fit this small resolution.
But ... the IDE is open source. Feel free to modify it as you need.
VNC shows you the 'real' resolution, so this is not what you want.
If you start an xserver on your PC, you uses also the resolution of your PC and you can start the IDE from the rasp.

@infratec I suppose that has to be done in C (which then is not possible for me. I'll have to look for the sources...).
I could import the PB-settings from W10 which helped for most things (unreachable to set on 5 inch).
Thanks.
