Can't adjust the display

in Kontakt

Hello Everyone,

I can't seem to adjust the display in Kontakt 8 either in the standalone or as a plugin. When it loads as a plugin it stretches part way across my second monitor. The handle on the bottom right corner doesn't work. And when I load it as standalone it's about half the size of my main monitor. I actually have 3 displays. You would think that I could just move it to whatever monitor I want and hit full screen. But that doesn't seem to work. I've pulled up options and hit reset window size which does nothing. I've also checked that box there where is says, "show fullscreen library browser when launching new empty Kontakt instance." rebooted Kontakt and nadda. Now my resolution is set to 125% that maybe why but I just wanted to see if there was something that I'm missing.

Thanks!

    I am not sure how much help this is for you , but when using Kontakt 8 as a plugin then in library default view then you have a menu item Zoom which will allow you to set 'zoom' which should allow you to set width of the plugin , the height you can then adjust using the handle at the bottom right.

    Also I can drag the open plugin onto my secondary monitor using ordinary dragging Windows dragging.

    Same goes in default view of Kontakt 8 app , except here I can also move the app to secondary screen using Windows shortcut for move app to screen :
