Can someone explain to me how I can do to be able to view all the settings? The cursor is on the edge and there are still too many settings to list that I can't see.

Since they released version 5, CubeMX has become increasingly confusing and difficult to use ...

ST really needs to improve CubeMX's graphics!

It's crazy, forum posts with several months of users reporting problems, and ST seems to do very little to improve.

For now my solution follows:

Preferences -> STM32CUBE -> Device Configuration Tool -> Font Size -> Small

Open it directly in STM32CubeMX outside of the IDE.

Hello @Khouloud ZEMMELI​ , this happens with any project file I open. Basically CubeMX does not format the window for the correct aspect ratio. This makes me unable to use the configurator ...

I think sharing the project file won't help ...

Ask me any important information I can provide to resolve the situation.

Thanks.

It feels like the CUBE (MX and libraries) are mainly targeted for STM's own demo SW purposes. They just let others to use it too.

Of course they are. Demos help to sell the chips.

Then doing right click on such editor tab you can detach it. Let's play with standalone Windows you're just getting ...
