Hi Markus, > the "graphics window" and the help window comes separate). Sorry about that -- I'm used to SPM5, where the help is in the bottom of the graphics window.

Right, spm_get sizes and places all the individual UI controls (buttons, file lists, etc.) separately (from about line 458 to 609), so you would have to do quite a lot of work to reposition the other elements in order to allow for a bigger file list. You could either just change the overall window scale, as I mentioned near the start of my original email. Or, to change this just for spm_get, edit line 430 to be something like: WS = spm('WinScale').*[1 2 1 2]; %-Window scaling factors I've just tried this out, and it looks like quite a good solution to me... hope it's okay for you. Best, Ged.
