Resize the Ulead window. Is this possible?

Using VS 11.5 Plus in Vista

Seems a very basic, and probably right in my face kinda thing but unlike almost every other program I've used I cannot resize the program window. I can either Close it (X) or minimize it (-) by clicking the buttons in the top right hand corner of the screen, but no option to resize.

Just the nature of the beast?

By re-sizing the preview screen to full screen you remove the timelines.
Therefore re-sizing is only suitable for playback not editing.

Using VS 10 and I assume VS 11 is the same.

Two options

1/ Click the icon to the right of the scissors, lower left of the preview screen

2/ Start playback then double click the ¡¥preview screen¡¦ (double click to return)

Hi Trevor,

I was actually wanting to re-size the entire program window, not just the "preview" screen if that makes any sense.

I've just started using Vista on a new PC and it has resource monitors on the desktop. I was just curious as to how my system was using the Core 2 Quad processor and the RAM when I'm burning a disc. Without a way to re-size the program window I cannot see the desktop where these monitors are located.

You can't resize VS in that way. What about toggling back and forth using Alt+Tab.

Or to take Black Lab's suggestion one step further, use Vista's splendid Hollywood screen scrolling effect by using Windows Button + TAB.

As for resizing, VS has never allowed it, strangely enough (quite apart from its other quirk of requiring a minimum screen resolution for it to work). Indeed, the ability to even minimize it was only introduced, IIRC, in VS10... or was that just when I first noticed your could...?
