@federico-terzi I've donated $20. It would be really great if we could resize the search bar, or at least have it be bigger by default.

As this person has said on Reddit:

There's no reason for them to be so absurdly small when we already know the boxes will barely be there for a few seconds anyway.

I'm looking into it... I didn't notice the original since it was closed.

@PaulRBerg Sorry for the delay... I meant to ask way earlier, but what Operating System are you on?

I managed to fix this issue for Windows (so far) so it should work on both Windows and macOS... I'm still checking/testing Linux but that's still building and I know I had some issues earlier so I'm unsure if Linux (X11 or Wayland) may not work yet for resizing...

@Archigos I'm using macOS Tahoe

Thanks for confirming! macOS already had the resize flag in the code, but there was a bug in the window sizing logic that prevented resizing on all platforms. The fix I just submitted should work for macOS as well. Once it's merged, you can test it with the latest dev build and let me know if it works!

thanks @Archigos - I assume you were referring to this PR? https://github.com/espanso/espanso/pull/2599

Correct... We're waiting on one more test before merge.
