When I run Apple II Oasis on my Vista 32 laptop, the window that opens is just a few percent too small, resulting in scroll bars and even more loss of screen area.

Scroll bars and loss of screen area means that the window is actually too large.

I mean the size of the window (frame) opened is smaller than the size of
the emulated screen it is displaying, therefore scroll bars.

Yah, I realized my error after I had retired for the night. ;-)

I've tried the obvious things, but A2 Oasis only resizes its emulated
window in simple multiples of Apple pixels, so no matter what multiple
I choose, the window is slightly too small to hold it completely.

It almost looks like an "off by one" error in window size, perhaps
because Vista changed the rules slightly...

I think I remember fiddling with "compatibility" switches, but I
don't recall finding anything that worked.

If another Oasis user has solved the problem, I'd appreciate hearing
how they did it.

Does anyone know a simple fix, or should I contact its creator?


Is there a config file that may contain window location and size?

Nothing obvious, since window sizes are just simple multiples of
Apple screen sizes, with no other choices.


Never having used Apple II Oasis, I really can't help, but, if it isn't modular, then you would have to change it at the source code.
