It seems the state settings from the config file totally overwrite what we are setting in code, so the values in code have only effect if there is no config file at all (e.g. after new installation). So there is one thing we could try... - find a compatible system and run a modified OpenSCAD that allows the different layout - copy the blob into the config file - cross fingers the hacking works :-) What OS are you using? On my Debian/64-bit system, I'm getting: - Config file: $HOME/.config/OpenSCAD/OpenSCAD.conf - The window state settings in that config file (all on a single long line) state=@ByteArray(\0\0\0\xff\0\0\0\0\xfd\0\0\0\x2\0\0\0\x1\0\0\x2W\0\0\x1>\xfc\x2\0\0\0\x1\xfb\0\0\0\x16\0\x63\0o\0n\0s\0o\0l\0\x65\0\x44\0o\0\x63\0k\x1\0\0\0\x1c\0\0\x1>\0\0\0#\0\xff\xff\xff\0\0\0\x3\0\0\x4\xf9\0\0\x2\xf8\xfc\x1\0\0\0\x1\xfb\0\0\0\x14\0\x65\0\x64\0i\0t\0o\0r\0\x44\0o\0\x63\0k\x1\0\0\0\0\0\0\x4\xf9\0\0\0K\0\xff\xff\xff\0\0\x2\x9c\0\0\x1>\0\0\0\x4\0\0\0\x4\0\0\0\b\0\0\0\b\xfc\0\0\0\0) ciao, Torsten.
