I installed kodi, a media player that is designed to turn a computer into a media center. It has some interesting features so I'd like to use it now and then. But apparently it never occurred to the developers to add an option to run it in a window instead of full screen. When it launches it takes over the screen so I cannot do something else while watching a video. I spent an hour searching for a solution and came up empty-handed.
John, I don't know what window manger you're using, but I have a couple of applications which initially opened to occupy the full screen. But, they use the default window manager which has an icon (second from the right here, next to the 'x' that closes the frame). This icon is an open square which displays as two stacked squares in full screen mode. Clicking that shrinks the frame to it's default (non-full screen) size. You can then resize it to your desired dimensions. It should retain that configuration the next time you open the application. If you want screen shots of the two icons I'll send them to you off the mail list as attachments are rejected at the border. Try it and let us know the results.
