Question Questions VaM newbie.

[Icgi]

Couple of questions.
1. How to I make the GUI bigger? It is so tiny I can barely read the words or options?
2. Where is the MINIMIZE button so I can get to desktop behind the edit screen?

I guess you're running it in fullscreen desktop mode? Try running the configurator (vam(config)) to see if you can switch to windowed mode there.

As for gui scale, click the three dots button on the lower far right of the toolbar, next to where it says "C to cycle stacks", and there's a slider there for that.

Just like @urukyay said.

1. Click on 3 dots, use UI Scale to increase size, UI Offset to move it up/down.

Spoiler: ui_scale

2. Desktop mode?
Run VaM (Config).bat and check "Windowed" option,
or if client is already running just alt+enter to toggle windowed/fullscreen (on windows).

Spoiler: windowed

old thread but i can only run window vam in 1080 on my right monitor (vertical)
but i wish to make it smaller ... as you can see its slightly to large on a 1080 vertical monitor...

And resizing just cuts off the corners...

would this be a custom command in a properties / shortcut / target command line?

i tried "VaM_Updater\VaM.exe -windowmode" but didnt know what to add to get a smaller res than 1080 or to simply force the window to be the size of the monitor res.

any ideas on this?

any ideas on this?

So you wanna start VaM windowed and lower than 1080p. Did you try creating/editing batch file with custom res?

1. Create a copy of VaM (Desktop Mode).bat

2. Edit it with notepad (or similar text editor)

3. Set desired resolution and windowed ( -screen-fullscreen 0 , otherwise "1" or -window full)
for example: START "VaM" VaM.exe -vrmode None -screen-fullscreen 0 -screen-width 1280 -screen-height 720

4. Use it to open VaM, don't start VaM via VaM_Updater (launcher) or VaM (Config).bat
