Zbrush is all like “Yo %$^&* I’m ^%$#ing Zbrush, I’m gonna cover all yo entire interface!”
When I have Zbrush open it feels the need to cover up all other windows I have on my computer making it very inconvenient to switch between other software, tutorials and images. Every time I open Zbrush I have to resize the window. It’s really annoying. Why does Zbrush have to be such a hog? How do I fix this?
Also, how do I get all the hair back that I ripped out of my head?
I hear ya! If you don’t have anything in the bottom tray, you can set your taskbar to be on top of other windows (Taskbar Properties). If you do have something in the bottom tray, then it will be partially covered by the taskbar.
also you can hit the key with the microsoft logo on it, next to Ctrl, that will bring up your taskbar.
Normally this would work but I have windows 8 and my start menu brings up this huge other page that takes up the screen. Is there any way to fix this within Zbrush guys?
sorry but not bloody likely.
Press the Two windows icon in your Zbrush interface. Top right corner. This will pop up your Zbrush. After that you can go to each corner and drag from there to place the window size and position wherever you like. Then go to Preferences -> Config and press Store Config. This way next time you restart Zbrush will appear in the same place
Hope this helps
It is helpful but is there any way to keep it like that?
that’s worked for you? it’s never for me.
Me neither. It’s OK if you don’t minimize then maximize because as soon as you maximize, it goes back to full screen again.
Usually works perfectly but sometimes you need to set it up again
If it didn´t work for me i wouldn´t post it twice 
Here is a video showing how i did and how it works for me…
wow i’m shocked. i’ve done that many times and it never ever stays. weird.
Does Alt+TAB not work for switching between windows on Win 8?
Also, you can resize the ZBrush window using this macro. Change the height & width values to what you want. If you assign a hotkey you can resize the window easily any time you want. Copy the text below to a txt file and save to your ZBrush 4R6\ZStartup\Macros\Misc folder. Call the file something like “ResizeWindow.txt”. Restart ZBrush and you’ll have a new button ResizeWindow in the Macro>Macros>Misc sub-palette.
//ZBrush macro
[IButton,???,“Reset ZBrush window”,
[VarSet,docW,[IGet,Document:Width]]
[VarSet,docH,[IGet,Document:Height]]
[IUnPress,Document:Pro]
[ISet,Document:Width,1800]//set to window width in pixels
[ISet,Document:Height,1000]//set to window height in pixels
[IKeyPress,ALT,[IPress,Document:Resize]]
[IPress,Document:Pro]
[ISet,Document:Width,docW]
[ISet,Document:Height,docH]
]
Very interesting, so Alt+Resize button will pop up the Zbrush window to the document size.
I tryed to include those lines in the DefaultZScript but it stops working when reads this line:
[IKeyPress,ALT,[IPress,Document:Resize]]
Is it possible to have in the DefaultZScript.txt the size of the window you want?
Thanks
It might be better as a startup macro (see this thread) rather than putting the code directly in the DefaultZScript. Even that might cause problems if it conflicts with the loading of the UI configuration or some other startup routine. Try it by all means but I think I’d simply use it with a hotkey.
So it´s best to leave the DefaultScript just calling the StartUpMacro custom button. And write all the comands you want in this macro.
Here is my StartUpMacro. Located in Zbrush4 R6/ZStartup/Macros/Misc
[IButton,???,“Startup Config”,
[IPress, Material: BasicMaterial] // Set your favorite material
[ISet,Document: Back, 46.18038] //Set your background color
[ISet,Document: Range, 0] // Set your Document Range
[VarSet,docW,[IGet,Document:Width]]
[VarSet,docH,[IGet,Document:Height]]
[IUnPress,Document:Pro]
[ISet,Document:Width,1280]//set to your monitor width
[ISet,Document:Height,990]//set to your monitor Height minus Windows Bar (-34 pixels in my case)
[IKeyPress,ALT,[IPress,Document:Resize]]
[IPress,Document:Pro]
[ISet,Document:Width,docW]
[ISet,Document:Height,docH]
[ISet,Document:Width,1024] // Set your favorite document width
[ISet,Document:Height,768] // Set your favorite document height
]//end of macro button
And here is the DefaultZScript. Located in Zbrush4 R6/ZScripts
//startup
[If,1,
[IPress,Macro:Macros:Misc:StartUpMacro]

Thanks for the tip Marcus! Now it works much better 
small_orange_diamondsmall_orange_diamondsmall_orange_diamondsmall_orange_diamond
That’s good Fran. I edited the macro you posted just so that all the commands are inside the button. It’s better that way.
Awesome, now all has sense. Thanks Marcus!
just for the record. i resized the window, stored it and it worked.
i guess something fixed it in one of the updates and i never bothered to try it again.
glad i found out, thank you.
