I made the mistake of playing with the size of the board on my winboard. I was using it to play a game while making notes. I thought it was really cool to have a small board on one side and document on the other, until I found out the screen won't go back to its normal size.

I tested the limits of my technological abilities and restarted my computer, but that didn't work. As a matter of fact, as I tried to play with the board some more, I think I actually shrunk it some more. Anyone know how I can get my default board size back?

Edit the ini file - look for line that says boardSize=

change it too boardSize=moderate

and save it.

Most likely there is a key press to get your Options back but this should work.

The ini file will be in the same place where the program is.

Thanks.

I just fixed it. You'd think that if you can shrink it by pulling in the sides, you should be able to expand it the same way. But that didn't do it.
