Hi,

I've some ideas about maximize windows and I like to hear your ideas or
if this is on a TODO list. I categorize my E17 modules into two
categories. The navigating and application modules and the less
important modules like e.g. volume or clock. So I've a problem with
maximizing windows. I'm not happy the the currently available maximize
policies. They all care about desktop modules. So if I've a big clock,
maximizing a window doesn't enlarge the window very much. The
fullscreen policy fits most to my needs, but the the ibar, ibox and
pager are overlaped. So I like a fullscreen maximize with the exception
to not overlap the lowest ~40 pixes of my screen. The same problem with
window placement. I don't like E to place a window at the lowest ~40
pixel at my screen. This overlaps the navigation modules too. I know
each person place this icons at another place, but many people like not
to overlap their navigation modules.

So how to solve this situation? I used xfce4 for some time, before I
switched to E. There's a configuration dialog where you could set some
"never overlap" areas for the window manager. Is this an idea for E?

See this shot of the xfce4 configuration dialog:
