Possibly the methods you want are fullscreen() and fullscreen_off(), see the docs for details. However, this is not guaranteed to work with every WM, and will usually try to remove the window decorations into the bargain, which may not be what you want. Check the fullscreen demo in the test folder to see how it behaves, is that what you want. If it is *not* what you want, you need to just get the screen dimensions for the current monitor (several ways to do this, but using one of the Fl::screen_xywh(...) methods is probably simplest and most portable), and then pass those values to ::resize(...). Which actually is pretty much what the maximize button actually does in most WM's anyway. Side note: the dimensions returned by screen_xywh(...) on most WM's honour the keep-out regions that the WM has set (e.g. for the taskbar, dock, whatever that the WM uses) so is usually smaller than the actual monitor window sizes. I hope that addresses part (a) of your question. Part (b) is maybe trickier - there is no consistent means to ask the WM if a given window is maximised that works across platforms, so your best bet might be to use screen_xywh() again to determine the window port size, and then compare that against the windows w() and h () values to see if it looks like it is maximised or not... That's about the best I think - others may have cleverer solutions... -- Ian _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
