Troubleshooting issues with opening the matter window

Available on Smokeball Grow and Prosper+

If you are trying to open a matter in the Smokeball desktop app and the window does not appear, it may be opening off-screen. This may be caused by:

  • Connecting to a multiple-monitor setup from a single monitor (e.g. connecting your laptop to external monitors). This can shift the window out of view.
  • The window being hidden under the Windows taskbar.

To bring the matter window back to your main screen:

  1. Hover over the Smokeball icon on the Windows taskbar.
  2. When the matter window preview appears, right-click on the preview. If you cannot right-click on the preview, try the following:
    • Hover your mouse over the matter window and press Alt + Space on your keyboard; or
    • Hold the Shift key, then right-click on the Smokeball taskbar icon.
  3. Click Move from the menu.
  4. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the window back to the main screen.
  5. Once the window is visible, click on it with your mouse to set its new position.
