I just opened krita 10 minutes ago and I love the feel of it. However, I have a big problem. I cannot seem to reach at the bottom of the program, and I cannot even open a new file because of it.

My laptop is 1024x600. I had a issue with photoshop elements being too big, (came with tablet) so I switched to Gimp. Feels good, loving it. I decided to try my hands on Krita since I heard so many good things about it. But now, I have the same issue as Elements. :/
Are there any work arounds?

Drag the toolbox to be wider, then press the maximize button in the window decorations.

Ah thank you! I will try that.
