It wouldn't be maximised if it only took up half the available space :)

It should be possible to do this in KDE with DCOP and a shell script,
which you could attach to a hot key. Also, KDE has options to only
maximise in one direction, by right or middle-clicking on the
maximise gadget, which may suit your needs.

If it was easy, the hardware people would take care of it.

[gentoo-user] Customize - maximize a window in KDE or a general X application

2005-06-08 Thread Hareesh Nagarajan
Hi,

If I have a screen res of length*breadth by default a Maximize on a
window sets it to length * breadth. Is there a way to set Maximize to
(length/2) * breadth?

Thanks,

Hareesh

Hi Hareesh,

This is handled by the window manager and
unfortunately I'm not aware of a window manager
independent way to do what you want.  You may want to
have a look at the wm-spec:
