Hi guys, I had this issue for ages. You minimize a window in max - No text visible anymore. As soon as I had several windows open, it was a an anoying lottery.

I don't know if this is the best solution, but I found a workaround on Autodesk forum yesterday.

I just want to share it with you, as I found so many useful stuff for me here on polycount.

If there is a better way, I am more than open for it ;)


You need to edit the registry to get this result:

I made a backup of my registry before this via export. You never know

This can take a while.

 

Go to this folder:


You need to add MinWidth - it's not there.

Right click / New / String Value

Name it MinWidth and put value on -3300.

I have no idea why -3300. I tried -2000 - didn't work.

Now, you need to restart your computer.

Done!

 

No guarantee of course.

But it is working here and it feels great.

That is the original thread:
