Welcome. I'm not one to talk about Window Management with, but from my understanding the entire idea of application-controlled-window-management is something that has gone back and forth between projects over the years.
For example, if window management is integrated, should we provide command line switches for mimimized, full screen, kiosk mode? I would actually advocate for a "all screens" mode where it expand to all available monitors, but that would be tough to implement, especially with mixed resolutions. I don't know the answer to this but I remember the Putty developers fighting a similar feature years ago. At that time, it would have greatly benefited one of my network operating centers had they coded it. They didn't arguing it was a limitation of the Windows Desktop. The company bought a proprietary solution instead. Furthermore, from the KDE days, I remember options within the window manager that provided window options that would remember these things. Not sure if they've made it through to KDE4 or not. I'll let the developers speak more on behalf of the technical side, but I wanted to say hello and share my thoughts on the subject matter. :) - [email protected] On Fri, Mar 28, 2014 at 7:04 PM, midi-pascal <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, > > I am a newcomer to this mailing list so I am not yet familiar with the > way you folks are working. > But I am ready to learn :-) > > Now down to he subject: > As a long time user of lmms but as a new contributor I would like to > share an idea I had for a while. > > Is it possible for lmms to remember its main window geometry (position > and size) from the previous session? > As it is now lmms stubbornly starts up full screen whatever I set in the > window special settings of the window manager (under Ubuntu 12.04 with > Trinty Desktop Environment). > I think this could be a nice-to-have feature since most (Ubuntu) > software I use have the capability to restore its last position and size > from session to session. > > As a seasoned C++ developer I think I could do the modification to the > lmms code myself - with the community approval - with a little help to > find my way however. > > BUT: I am not set up to ensure the eventual change would work under > Window$ since I stopped using this thing long time ago (for years). > > I'm open to ideas and suggestions! > > PS1: English is not my mother tongue so pardon me if my wording sounds a > bit alien sometime :-) > PS2: Do not hesitate to correct me if I do not do things your way on > this mailing list.
