Not other cases (video players), where you rightly say that aspect ratio does make a sense. Yes, there are some cases, or rather there will be them in FVWM3 when it will approach the point where resolution change, or new monitor addition will not mandate fvwm restart to get things in place. In this case, FvwmPager can end up smaller or bigger than wanted. I think shift+mouse-move, or configuration option for preserving aspect ratio makes a sense. >> the are made big enough by dinamically following screen resolution, > Isn't that what everybody does - give it a good default size and > that's it? Well, for me, it is ok, but having in mind how many people with their original ideas of behaviour of things use FVWM, that is, FVWM's native user base are really demanding users, I can imagine someone using this on daily basis, and wanting to have it preserve screen size, not trying to do it manually as much as they can visually. > What kind of use case is that; someone thinks the current size is > too small and wants to make it 50% bigger?

What is > so special about the pager that it I don't know if you sent this mail prematurely, or the crappy mail service's web that I choose cutted it here, but "pager that it" is the last I see from your text. :-\ To answer: You are right for the other case when pager is on the way. All actions you enumerated have more sense than resizing it. But the first one can really be the issue. I remember once, a year ago, I had debugging session with Thomas and shared my screen. Pager was important during this problem, because state if windows on multiscreen was not the same as in pager. In one moment, Thomas asked me can I make my "Local" pager bigger, that it will be easier to work. So I resized it. -- Miroslav
