The obvious difference is that a Maximize-based maximization can be reversed by fvwm, which remembers the previous window size (this is the common behavior among all window managers; maximization is by default a toggle). Window resizing is not normally reversible. Since you can maximize to sizes other than full screen, you can exploit this for other temporary (re)sizings that preserve the original window size, whatever it is. (If you just want to toggle between two fixed sizes or rotate among a collection of them, you can use Resize instead since you know all of the sizes. Maximize is handy when one of the sizes can vary.) - cks

Yes. If you use the Maximize command, then fvwm treats that window as such. With your other example of using "Move", it does not.

Depends what you're trying to do. Kindly, Thomas
FVWM: Question on "Maximize"
Hi! Is there a differnce between a window, that was maximized using "Maximize 100 100" and a window that is maximized by "Move 0 0, Resize $[vp.width] $[vp.height]" ? If there is a difference, how do I pass that "Maximised"-flag to a shell script? I assume that - while it is working - this is not the best way to do so: + I ThisWindow (!Maximized) PipeRead ~/a/shell/script not_maximized + I ThisWindow (Maximized) PipeRead ~/a/shell/script maximized Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...
