Hello,
I'm loving the open source Roccat tools for my Tyon on Linux. I have one issue that is bothering me. On Windows, the all important features for configuration is accessible within small window and it works on my 1080p monitor just fine. I'm sure it will work with smaller monitors too. However, on linux, the configuration window for Tyon is too long even for my 1080p monitor. So, some of the stuff were cut off by my taskbar, like import, export, reset, and etc buttons on very bottom. I cannot resize it to become visible. I have to hide my taskbar to finally see it. I'm not sure how this would work for smaller monitors but I can imagine that it would be useless as users cannot access the features that are cut off by the screen. I've attached the picture to illustrate my problem.

Example with taskbar blocking the buttons
Example with taskbar hidden away, revealing the buttons

Suggestion: Redesign the UI a bit. Break it up into more tabs. Maybe one tab for lights, a tab for buttons, and a tab for CPI switcher and sensitivity?

    I forgot to mention my OS information:
    My OS is Arch Linux, I am using XFCE4 Desktop Environment with GTK. I think I am running the latest roccat tool that are installed from AUR. I hope this helps!

    Using a more space-saving desktop theme could help. For me the config window has total 1014 lines.
    Moving the too big window up/down on the small screen can be done nowadays by pressing the super key (windows key) and left-click and move somewhere into the window. Older Gnome versions used the Alt key for this.
