I just downloaded and compiled bbconf. Looks like a very nice app.
bbconf's initial window size is to large for one of my systems. I agree
that in most cases the initial window size (738x606 in my case) would be
more than acceptable for most people. However, I think it would be
benificial for all applications not to dismiss the smaller screen
sizes. I've tried using the geometry command line parameter to specify
the screen resolution. However, it appears that bbconf completely
ignores any geometry settings.
Additionally, when the application is resized (as it is forced to by
Blackbox when I attempt to resize it) it doesn't account for the smaller
window when placing buttons and options. So, some options are no longer
accesible.
I realize that many will simply suggest getting a larger display.
However, the system in question is a Sony PCG-C1VN laptop which has a
1024x480 display. Some may suggest the use of a larger virtual display
and a scrolling view port. However, having used this method for a
while, I must say that I for one dislike it.
So, would it be possible for bbconf to allow for window resizes and use
the geometry command line option? I went to open a submit a bug report
about this on the bbconf site, but the drop down options all appear to
be the original "example" versions. So, I figured I would post it here
instead.
