It is not ignored by gtk, but by the window manager. For example under ubuntu linux with gtk2 all but the close button is hidden. > procedure TForm1.FormResize(Sender: TObject); > begin > Form1.WindowState:=wsMaximized; > end; > > This isn't a right way, because the screen flickers. I guess TForm1.FormResize is your OnResize event. This means, every time the window is resized, it should maximize. If the window manager does not allow this, this will create an endless loop. No normal application should force maximize. Maybe you are programming a game? Then you might want to try the function of the unit gtkproc: SetWindowFullScreen GrabKeyBoardToForm GrabMouseToForm Mattias _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives

The other thing that many applications do and that annoys the crap out of me is that they always assume the taskbar is at the top or bottom of the screen. For example, I have a wide screen display. To me it makes more sense to put the taskbar on the left edge of the screen. It makes it easier to see the names of running programs in the taskbar. So many applications start up and are partially hidden behind the taskbar (on the left of my screen) because they assumed the taskbar is always at the bottom edge of the screen!

Imho, Delphi set the FormSize to DesktopArea. ( ScreenSize - Taskbar ) My workarround isn't flexible: Form1.Height:=Screen.Height-(Screen.Height div 100*8); It's only good for my own Screen. MfG Th.

Re: [lazarus] Form.Align without effect
What should the form align too?? I can understand a component in a form with Align := alClient (or any other align type), because it has a parent component to align to. What does Delphi do with a Form1.Align := alClient statement? >From the Kylix 3 help: "TAlign specifies the alignment of a control within its parent. alClient The control resizes to fill the client area of its parent. If another control already occupies part of the client area, the control resizes to fit within the remaining client area. " So that would mean, if a Form doesn't have a parent (isn't embedded in another form or control), it shouldn't do anything.
