This is something that has been bugging me for several Krita versions already, both on Linux and on Windows. The 'new document' dialog is TOO BIG! 9 times out of 10, especially on Windows, that window constantly gets shoved under the task bar. Since the window is as high as the monitor height (768 pixels in my case), I can't drag it upwards to click on the buttons. The window is not resizable either, which eliminates any possibility of trying to click the buttons, which coincidentally are placed at the very bottom of the window.

Why this window has to be this big? It makes no sense. It even looks out of place in comparison to the rest of Krita, IMO.

There's someone working on a redesign. It is probably not resizable because all the elements stop it from being resizable.

I hope so. This is keeping me from using Krita, as I can't create new documents.

Try Krita 3.0; the new image dialog is smaller there.

Temporally workaround for Windows might be, using Alt+key combination in File Creation dialog. (for example Alt-C would press "Create" in Custom Document option)

I would. However, the stylus in Krita 3.0 is mapped with the buttons reversed. (Button 1 is Button 2 and vice-versa), as well as some tablet buttons not working as they should.

Yeeey... i am using krita 2.9 on windows and had the same problem.
Just delete krita directory in C:\Users\[user_folder]\Appdata\Local
then the problem solved!!!

I also think it's weird that some dockers have a minimal size. I changed my layout (see below)
But whenever I add "Grid and Guides to the top right (basically on top of the "Tool Options"), I can't make the Brush Presets + Toolbox smaller anymore. If I remove the "Grid and Guides" from there, I can easily resize the top half, so it only shows 1 row of brushes. <3

That's because you cannot make that docker less high and still show all the contents.

see you guys have problems with tool windows being to big, while my problem is the entire krita being too huge for my screen, what i mean by that is that the entire window or tab is too huge i cant even close out of krita, i wish i can show you guys but i dont know how to post images on here

Did you try a reinstall to reset the screensize?

i can try to do that....also i have re installed it, i will try the reset the size thing

i checked my other art stuff and they work just fine, only krita has that huge window/tab problem, also it didnt work it just stayed the same huge tab/window

well i kind of fixed my problem, i download an old version of krita, 4.1.5, yeah sure some of the tool windows might be a little big but i dont have that huge window/tab problem any more....also look on pg 2 for my response to the comment down below

Reinstalling won't fix bugs. It doesn't reset settings, for one thing. You probably need to uncheck the HiDPI checkbox in Krita's settings dialog. That you might need to do this means your Windows system is misconfigured.
