XnView Software

When I open the file browser of xnview 0.96.5 in windows 10, it is not possible to move or resize the window. In fact all the window manipulation tools are missing: cannot close it by clicking on an 'x' in the upper right corner. It's not there. Neither are the minimize or maximize icons. I used to be able to adjust the size of the browser window or close the program by clicking on the 'x' icon. Why is that no longer possible?

you have not used Ctrl+F11??

Recently I experienced exactly the same with the latest version of XnView MP: the Browser Window is microscopic on my UHD resoultion screen, it lacks the borders and the resize bottom-right corner. I don’t know how to resize it. Alt+Space opens the menu with ‘Size’ greyed out. Win+Left/Right Arrow has no effect (Win+Up/Down Arrows work as, probably, intended, to maximize/minimize the Browser Window).

I don’t know how I made it happen but closing XnView MP, restarting computer, trying to locate a relevant setting, are all of no effect.

I have been stuck with this nearly unusable state if Browser mode for weeks, updating XvView MP didn’t help.

I am not sure about how to understand Post #2 (just in case, I pressed Ctrl-F11 on the Browser Window — this had no effect).

Please post a screenshot?

Before submitting my post, I was making every effort to make sure that I didn’t miss something. In particular, I was trying Windows keyboard shortcuts for resizing windows. When I applied Win+UpArrow, the Browser Window changed its size and almost filled the screen. I noticed, afterwards, that every time I start XnView MP now, the Browser Window opens up in this way, I don’t see how I could revert to the prior situation when the Browser Window was always opening tiny-tiny. The Browser Window is still missing the borders and the resize corner, there are no buttons for maximizing/minimizing/closing the window.
