Opening Wireshark - sizing

0

Hi,

When first initializing WS gui, is there a way to modify how large/small the "box" by which Wireshark opens? I'm currently using WS-1.10.1. I've checked preferences, but didn't see a sizing option.

thanks,

J

After opening wireshark and resizing the window to your liking, choose Edit -> Preferences -> Save window size.

If you'd like to also save the window position or maximized state, there are separate preferences for those.
