This article demonstrates how to recover missing user interface (UI) elements in GeoStudio.
Cause
- The screen coordinates of GeoStudio UI elements are recorded in the Registry.
- If your display setting change significantly, these coordinates may no longer be valid.
- Significant changes include (among others):
- A different display configuration (accessing the computer via remote desktop).
- Changing the display resolution.
- Changing the number or orders of displays.
- Accidentally disabling or moving UI elements off-screen.
Before You Start
- This article assumes you are using the latest version of GeoStudio.
Steps to Resolve
- The GeoStudio 'Window' menu contains a command to reset the program to the default window layout.
- If the menu bar is the missing UI element, the steps can be performed with the keyboard shortcuts.
- Launch GeoStudio normally.
- Open the 'Window' menu (shortcut: Alt + W).
- Select 'Reset Window Layout' (shortcut: E).
- You will then be asked if you want to reset to the default window layout:
- Click on 'Yes'.
- GeoStudio UI elements will be restored.
Things to Consider
- Older versions of GeoStudio may use different keyboard shortcuts.
- If the shortcuts listed above do not work, try Alt + W followed by S.
