@gopherbro 94:
Set your taskbar to autohide. Maybe that will help??
Right click it, choose properties, then autohide.
There's also the ability to make the taskbar always be on top (or not).

Hope this helps?

BTW, did alt-tabbing not work?

Cheers

Slayer rules!!! Yeaaah, man!

Plant life opens in a window. You can change the size of the window using the File->configuration menu.

The smallest it goes is 800 x 600, so I suggest running your desktop in a higher resolution than that.

If your maximum desktop resolution is 800 x 600, then I'd go with what Slayer said, or possibly buy a new monitor

Slayer's method worked

And I would be so mad if I had to buy a new monitor just to run a 20$ program

I think if your computer is running at 800x600 I'd consider buying more than just a new monitor! My Amiga ran higher than that

If your monitor can only display 800x600, you should buy a new one anyway. 800x600 is awful.
