Hi all,

at first thank you for all your work. I am new into the whole lighting topic and QLC+ is amazing!

I recently updated to QLC+ 4.14.0 on my Mac and purchased and installed the dark mode theme, so I am not 100% sure if it is QLC+ 4.14.0 or the theme or both together, but as there is the new QT version in QLC+ I assume this issue is maybe there. Maybe its also only Mac related.

I hope I did not miss this being already reported.

Issue:
After switching to the functions screen and selecting a scene with many fixtures in full screen mode everything looks ok. If I then click on "nothing" and select the scene again, the whole UI streches "out of the window" to the right - see screenshot. - Only workaround I found was leaving full screen mode and switch to fullscreen again while no scene is selected.

Additional Info: Once in that "error", also the window not in fullscreen can not be resized to fit the screen anymore.

very simple example attached. For me its 100% reproducible.

Welcome to the community,

Is there scaling in place? With the latest build, Massimo introduced some mechanisms to handle the 4K and 8K screens. This off-scaling thing you are reporting might be a result of this.

Thank you for your fast reply!
Most probably there is some scaling going on. I am using a MacBook Pro 14" with its internal display and that has a quite high resolution, but I don't really know what MacOS is doing there.
Only thing I know is, that it was not doing this "resizing out of the screen" thing with 4.13.x

Are there any logs or such which might help, that I can collect?

Update: I just tried the new Version 4.14.1 - Unfortunately same behavior.

btw. It is the Apple Silicon Version, if that makes a difference.

I have both flavours of OSX and Mac )Apple Silicon and intel) and it doesn't work on either of them - I see exactly the same thing you are. To be fair it's never worked and has always done this ever since I purchased the dar mode last year it last year. Frustratingly it works fine on windows laptop, which is annoying as I hate windows with a passion

Ahhh - ok. I see, its the mui-dark-mode-theme. - I uninstalled the Theme and then resizing works again as expected.

I purchased it two weeks ago and the version seems to be from august 2024. - Anyone an idea when there will be a new version of the theme?

Will return to the standard UI until then.
