Buttons unavailable

[towsim]

I experienced the following situation during a trial to enter a multiplayer server.  All worked normal until I reached the point to connect to the server. The connect button was covered by the windows task bar. So, no chance to connect. Unfortunately, under Windows 11, the taskbar cannot be moved to any other position on desktop. Even the windows checkbox ‘Automatically hide the taskbar’ does not work. The taskbar does not disappear. The next idea was to configure a smaller DCS window size so, that the button would not be covered. But the ‘OK’ button in the DCS configuration menu is covered by the taskbar too. How can I get out of this dead end street? In windows 10, I had a similar problem during a VR session. I wanted to switch the oxygen supply switch in the F18 cockpit. I ended on the taskbar. Here I had the possibility to move the taskbar to the top of the screen, which is not possible under Windows 11 anymore. Would it be possible for DCS to catch the mouse cursor clicks exclusively, when the cursor hovers over the DCS window? Or any other solution  to avoid clicks on the taskbar?

With the game not running, "./username/Saved Games/DCS.openbeta/Config/options.lua" file,

You can change it manually by changing the ["width"] and ["height"] values under ["graphics"] with something like notepad.

Sets the display resolution lower than the display and he starts DCS, it will start at the specified resolution (window size).

For example,
["width"] = 1280,
["height"] = 720,

You can also set ["fullScreen"] = false if you prefer.

 

When you start it, just change the resolution to your liking from the settings as usual.

 

By the way, Rename or delete the configuration file, it should start with the initial setting (I think it was full screen)

Thank you for the reply. Since the taskbar works now and then, I got it in a normal working situation so, that the buttons were available. After a change to 1600 by 900 dimension, the DCS graphics appeared in a 1600 by 900 window, but remained in a 1920 by 1080 resolution. Therefore, no buttons available.  In VR mode, the bug could be solved because the VR window on desktop is vertically smaller than the desktop and the VR window reflects the the actual VR view. The taskbar is far away and does not disturb anymore.
