      Problem solved: The slider dialog is constructed in ControlPanel.rb by:

          $PhysicsControlPanelDialog=UI::WebDialog.new("SketchyPhysics Control Panel", true,"bzasdfasdfa12ctrasaa123", 290, 200, 1000,800, true)
      

      I looked up WebDialog.new and guessed from the missing description that the parameters with values here 1000 and 800 are width and height. Like cdauscher, I'm trying to use the stuff on a notebook - replacing 1000 and 800 with e.g. 600 and 400, I get a small but nice window of sliders. 😍

      Bug in WebKit: windows that are as big or bigger than screen size (mine is 1280*800) don't get displayed.

              Well what version are you running?
              With version 3.2 all those problems should be long gone, and this thread is actually 3 years old.

                i know, I've tried both 3.1 and3.2 both on su 7 and 8 pro, to no avail, i'm loosing hope, all goes well but the ui
                isn't displaying anything in the line, just blank white lines, nor do i get controllers when i play is pressed, even on down loaded models

                    Well then I'm quite lost.
                    If you open up the Ruby Console and then try using the UI or running SketchyPhysics does it report any errors?

                      no it doesn't show errors, i'm convinced by now that it has to do to me uninstalling internet explorer, but even
                      after re-installing ie and su again i don't get it! on 2 different pc's! i'm going mad

                        Well yes IE is essential to all Sketchup UI stuff, but without it the Webdialogs wouldn't turn up at all.

                        What if you try File -> 3D warehouse -> Get models, does that work?

                            this is what i get when i press the ui,1.jpg

                            and the second picture is when i press the play button,2.jpg

                            don't know if you can see but there's a very little square window in the left corner, think this is the problem , everything else works, but sketchphysics is useless like that!!!!!help!!!

                              Well SP adds in elements via Javascript so the most likely culprit for the UI to stay empty are your browser settings, it needs to have javascript enabled.
                              Or maybe it's an issue with the IE version, I hear some of them cause problems when combined with Sketchup.

                                  I'm not sure if Windows will allow it but try installing versions 8 or 7, I got 7 and it works... fairly well.

                                  But before that make sure your browser isn't blocking scripts, because I heard IE9 is locked down pretty tight by default.

                                    but to no help, thought maybe some of my win features caused the problem, this is how they

                                        Well I had a quick look on google and found these:

                                        I can't tell if this will work but it's worth a shot.

                                          I noticed when using a hinge joint, nothing shows up in the slider window, but when using a servo joint the slider shows up and is functioning.

                                            I'm having the same issue as rahdad1. When I name the hinge joint in the Controller window (blue field), close the window and then re-open the window, I find that the name is gone. When I hit the play button there is no slider in the pop-up. I'm running Windows 7, Sketchup 8.0.4811 and Sketchyphysics 3.. Thanks for the help.
