alignment might not be the best term for it. resizing the screen causes rio to scale each window to fit the new screen. the distances from the edge are also scaled. this has the advantage that screen transitions x->(y->x)* are idempotent. there is no way currently for a program to treat the screen in a more sophisticated manner.

It would be nice if you could add a command line option for this - I > started looking at this, but haven't had much time to make a proper patch. i don't see not dealing with screen resizes at all as fundamentally better. i also have this issue, and on a small drawterm on my impossibly small-screen'd mac, resizing causes the default faces configuration goes right across the screen, but not resizing would cause the stats window to disappear off to the right. a quick hack would be to probe the screen pix dimensions and change behavior based on that. but i don't immediately see what the right approach is. do we force windows to declare hints about how they should be resized and when? how does resizing interact with dpi? - erik
