You can use the shortcut option mentioned above -screen-width 1600 -screen-height 900 and it will display normally. This will be fixed in the next version. Not sure why this happens but will be fixed in the next update. If you need help in creating the shortcut I can explain it further let me know.

Thanks! Sorry can you explain how to create the shortcut?

Right Click SpriteCreator used to launch the program and select "Create Shortcut". Then right click that shortcut and select Properties. In the "Target" field you will see a path to the real file. At the end of all that path stuff copy and paste(without the quotes) "-screen-width 1600 -screen-height 900" 

It should look like this:

  C:\Users\jense\Desktop\SpriteCreator3\SpriteCreator.exe -screen-width 1600 -screen-height 900

Your C:\Some Path\More Path\SpriteCreator.exe will look different but once you add that line you just run from that shortcut once and after that you shouldn't need the short cut anymore. Everything should be normal.

New update has been released this bug has been fixed.

I redownloaded it but there is still the same issue. 

This is how it looks when I open the updated program.

(Note the lack of the scrollbar on the right)

And this is what happens when I tried doing the shortcut trick

Please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong? I tried everything.

There is no scrollbar on the right side of the screen. The scroll bar is the 2 bars below the clear icon. You should be able to use the scroll wheel any where on that, over all the icons and  as far as to the edge of the right side of the screen. Also the shortcut link requires a space between the .exe and the start of the command. Though that will be ignored once the program loads.

Ok sorry I figured it out. I don't have any access to a scrolling device (I use a drawing tablet, and I don't have a mouse, touchpad  or scroll wheel) and page up/down, touch screen controls, and arrow keys (what I normally use to scroll) do not work. I had to literally put the program on a usb and use my friend's computer to use the program lol.

I understand. I will add hotkeys to scrolling or if I can drag controls for scrolling to help. I have a drawing tablet to test on.  I imagine others would have this problem as well.  Will look into this in the next minor update. Thank you for your feedback.

Updated Sprite Creator. Uninstall the version you have and Install the new version. Page Up or Up Arrow and Page Down or Down Arrow will scroll through the category just like the mouse wheel currently does. Also Left Arrow and Right Arrow will scroll through the different categories. Hope this helps navigating Sprite Creator and selecting objects. Thank you for the suggestion.

Awesome! thank you so much!
