Save window sizes between sessions?

[Adam Kao]

Winboard used to save the size of the chat/console window separately from the board size. Is there a way to get this back? I prefer it that way.

This is a matter of configuring. WinBoard itself has not changed, but the distributed installer implements the ICS menu items (for FICS and ICC) by calling WinBoard with the indirection files ICC.ini and FICS.ini specifying a size for the console window (relative to the main window size). This will overrule what is in the winboard.ini file, so that saving the settings (which always happens in the winboard.ini) will not be effective for the position and sizeof the console window.

To change that, just remove the lines for /icsH and /icsW from the ICC.ini and FICS.ini file. Then the (saved) info from winboard.ini will prevail for this setting.
