Thanks for your report.
It would be helpful to send a report and the required TCE file to me by the Report A Bug button.
The guides are out of date man.
Checkout the wiki instead, which is generally up to date.
Bug report: TCE doesn't correctly identify the right UI size when switching from multi-monitor back to single monitor
Steps to replicate:
1) Have multiple monitors
2) Switch to multi-monitor setup
3) Switch off multi-monitor setup
4) UI is now incorrectly sized
Notes: I am running an ultrawide monitor as my primary (2560x1080), and my secondary monitors are aligned vertically (1080x1920), so this may have caused some issues
Will checkout the issue.
Trade route finder finds nothing even though I added a database from EDDB?
Because your Data Age filter is set to actual, I guess. Change it to 1-4 days and you will find plenty of routes.
Bug report: TCE doesn't assign the correct height to the UI. My monitor is 2560x1080. The Navigation tab, for example, displays in a box bigger than the height of my screen, so I can't close the box nor see all the data.
1. Open the Options panel and select the Panel Configuration tab.
2. Activate the Allow Free Panel Placement option.
3. Select the panel name under Panel Positions and increase the Y-value to see the CONTROL button at the panel.
4. Click the CONTROL button and redurce the Panel Size value to a proper value and the Font Size to be suitable.
5. Save the setting aftwards.
This should work until I fix the issue by a patch.
why is there no option to have the program wholly nestled on a secondary monitor?
There is an option, if you didn't use any surround mode at the GFX-driver for you monitors. Select the monitor number, you want to use for TCE at the System tab of the Option panel.
Why is there no option to have the mouse cursor always visible when attempting to click on the Interface?
That can't work because TCE is an overlay, so you have to switch the focus between both applications.
There is a keybind to send the focus to TCE, so your mouse pointer become visible by pressing the selected key.
Hope that help's unitl a fix is out.
