I have NWN installed on an XP machine and a Win7 laptop. All is fine except for one really annoying glitch in the Windows 7 install. On the laptop, when you right click a tile to set the tile light colors, the resulting Windows 7 popup does not show all the options that the XP install does. Here's a screenshot of the difference:

winxp_vs_win7_tile_light_color_option_di

Any ideas on how I can fix this on the Windows7 laptop?

Can you change the dimensions via click and drag?  I have Vista and am getting the same thing as your XP display.

My Win7 display is fine. I don't recall doing anything special for the toolset, though the game itself is running as administrator in XP compatibility mode.

Thanks for the responses.

 

Sadly, there's no ability to resize the box via click and drag.

 

I tried changing nwnmain and the toolset exe to run in XP compatibility mode, as administrator and that had no effect on this problem, however, everything seems to run a bit faster now in the toolset and the modules load faster into the toolset. I stress the *seem to* though, as that might be my imagination :)

 

I suppose there are so many variables in systems, video cards, settings etc. It's not a major issue, just would like to have all options accessible to me on this machine. It's a pretty good computer, a decent i7 Sony Vaio widescreen laptop I work on, with a nice dedicated nvidia graphics card and am running a 64bit install of win7.

 

Well, thanks for the answers, it was worth a shot. oh edit - and thankfully it's the blue, green and red primary colors that don't show - those I don't see a lot of use for in tile lights usually - a little too garish for me. But that white I'd like to have available.

You can try reset your windows theme.

In the "toolset.ini", there's several window size settings. I'm not sure which one might help and couldn't locate any guides though. You could get lucky through experimenting, who knows?

Thanks folks. I did try different popup and window settings in toolset.ini. Alas that didn't work for me. I also tried different windows looks/themes and screen resolutions. In the end I decided to upgrade to windows 8.1 now, as I was thinking about that anyway for future, work-related reasons. Well that turned out to be a bit of a nightmare scenerio in and of itself! Ugh - but I prevaled and all works correctly in windows 8.1. Whew though - had I known in advance what a can of worms I would be opening in moving to windows 8.1 in general, I am certain I could have easily lived with those 4 missing tile light options :)
