I wasn’t sure where to put this, so I’m putting it here, just as [oompa\_1 asked in a previous forum](https://processing.org/discourse/beta/num_1231044321.html)…

Actually, to quote oompa\_1:

> all of a sudden, one of my sketches produces its display window in such a way that I don’t have access to anything like a title bar that might allow me to move the window around. I don’t know how it happened in the first place, and I definitely don’t know how to get it back to something manageable.

I’ve tried several Windows 7 tricks I’ve come across on the web, but none are working.

Help definitely appreciated – I can’t see half of the stuff that’s animating! 😱

It’s funny because I looked at that very page this morning, but didn’t try the cascading because I hate cascading. I tried the other method he discusses, but that didn’t work.

My bad. Sorry for wasting your time. 🤪 (Hey, why isn’t there an :embarrassed: emoji?)
