Kivy Window Resize

by: JAccL, 8 years ago


Good Afternoon,

I've been trying to learn Kivy recently. I am running Python 3.5 on OS X and used pip to install Kivy. For Pygame I had to use Homebrew. Whenever I try to resize my Kivy windows, the Kivy window goes black/empty. Is this a known problem with an easy fix? The terminal says that that it reloaded the graphics data in a few fractions of a second, but nothing reappears. Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!(:

Does it stay blank/empty? or just while you re-size?

I know sometimes resizing does weird things with Kivy, but I've not yet heard of it going and staying empty. Unfortunately I don't have much to offer further. Have you tried poking around with a Google search on it? Maybe someone else has had this issue.

It turns white when I'm resizing and then goes blank once I stop resizing it. I couldn't find the issue on Google, but I can just set the screen size for now. Since I couldn't find anything on Google, I figured it wouldn't be an easy fix. Thanks for the quick response.

I found out what was wrong from someone on github. I figured I would post it just in case anyone has a similar problem, and it is an easy fix. My Kivy was using pygame instead of SDL2, so I had to uninstall Kivy, brew install the SDL2 dependencies, and then reinstall kivy. Thanks for making your videos!
