[Chimera-users] problem with new Chimera 1.4 and 1.4.1 OSX Aqua

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Miriam,
It saves your previous window size -- maybe you used a small window  
the last time?  The graphics window is the black area, and when it is  
small, there is a white unused area around it to accommodate the width  
of the menu and command line.

However, regardless of how you arrived at this point, you can get rid  
of the white part and go back to manual resizing with any of the  
following:

- using command "~windowsize"
- manually resizing the overall window smaller so that all of the  
white area disappears, then dragging it larger again
- using command "windowsize x y" where x and y are the desired width  
and height of the graphics window (and large enough so that no white  
area is needed)

I hope this helps,
Elaine
