Hi everyone,

I am designing an experiment using Inquisit Web and trying to set the windowsize so that the study runs in a large window but not in fullscreen mode. I want to ensure that participants can always see a close button (X) to exit the experiment if needed.

Here is my current code:


When I set windowsize = (100, 100), the experiment runs in fullscreen mode, which I want to avoid. If I reduce it slightly (e.g., windowsize = (100, 95)), it works for some screens, but on other screens, too much or too little is cut off.

Is there a way to dynamically set the window size so that it maximizes the available screen space while keeping the close button visible across different screen sizes?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

<defaults>
/ canvasaspectratio = (16, 9)
/ windowsize = (100, 100)
</defaults>

No.
