sucks not working on windows
by SodiumTuna, 2024-10-13
me funciona de maravilla pero porfvor de dar la opcion de ajustar el tamaño de la pantalla a reducirlo mas o hacerlo mas grande, recuerdo que antes se podia hacer ahora ya no se puede. Me a pasado justo ahora queria expander un poco la pantalla pero no deja solo te deja expandir el cuadro en toda la pantalla y luego no pude regresarlo como estaba, la unica forma de regresar al cuadro pequeño pero desintalarlo y volver instalar, pero sigue con ese problema de manipular el tamaño del cuadro.
