In new release processing 4.1.1,  
The size(displaywidth, displayheight), this no longer work. It flags error.  
and when I use fullscreen() function. The close and maximize/minimize buttons will overshoot the screen.

But I used it in previous 4.0.2rc version to set my screen size and it was very okay.

Please, help with solution to this.

Hello @avong.

Take a look at the references:

- [size() / Reference / Processing.org](https://processing.org/reference/size_.html)
- [settings() / Reference / Processing.org](https://processing.org/reference/settings_.html)

Try this:

```auto
void settings()
  {
  size(displayWidth, displayHeight);
  }

```

Hello @avong,

Try this:

```auto
void settings()
  {
  println(displayWidth, displayHeight); // Bonus!
  size(displayWidth, displayHeight); // works here! 
  }
  
void setup()
  {
  //size(displayWidth, displayHeight); //gives an error!
  }

```

I do not know what has change between versions and used my experience and experimented a bit.

Does this work at your end?

_Update_

This worked with:

- W10 Processing 3.5.4 and 4.1.1
- Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS Processing 4.1.1 in a VMWare VM
