Re: WindowBoundingRect in Linux
I have done set the rect of stack xyz to the screen rect. With Gnome this floats the stack above but touching the task bar, as with all apps meximized, with no overlap. With Fluxbox, the task bar is overlappng and over the stack which occupies the whole screen, and this happens with all apps. With Flux however there are probably some options to unset float over all, but I don't see how you would reproduce the Gnome effect where the stack does not overlap the menu bar. I seem to recall KDE working the same way as Gnome, that would be KDE 3.5. I have not tried KDE4.x with rev. This is debian squeeze. If you want something specific tried, happy to do it. I have just about every WM under the sun installed! -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/WindowBoundingRect-in-Linux-tp2993052p2993575.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

This would suggest to me, that, on my machine at least, that the problem lies with Avant Window Navigator Thank you for looking into this, but I'm referring to a different behavior. The windowBoundingRect is entirely internal to Rev, governing the maximum size a Rev window will be sized to when the user clicks the window's maximize control. True, it can be difficult to be able to know the full extent of various window trimmings in Linux (Cairo Dock seems to do a good job of having the OS constraint the max size, as do the built-in panels, but there are so many docks available that I imagine some work better than others). But in my case all I need to do is to be able to constrain our document windows within the bounds established by our app's toolbar -- all Rev stuff. On OS X and Win, setting the windowBoundingRect will indeed constrain maximizing as expected, but I haven't been able to get this to work in Linux. Unfortunately, this rather hoses an otherwise-almost-ready-to-ship-for-Linux app we have in the works which has a toolbar that needs to be accounted for. I've logged the bug here: http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=9058 If anyone here knows of a way to get this to work I'd be most grateful. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com LiveCode Journal blog: http://LiveCodejournal.com/blog.irv ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Yes this is right, it does it with flux on Debian also. -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/WindowBoundingRect-in-Linux-tp2993052p2994115.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: WindowBoundingRect in Linux
if you guys want to go crazy with window managers check out suckless.org specifically wmii and dwm also check awesome window manager On Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 2:52 PM, Richmond richmondmathew...@gmail.comwrote: On 10/13/2010 08:41 PM, Peter Alcibiades wrote: Yes this is right, it does it with flux on Debian also.

Re: WindowBoundingRect in Linux
I do like wmii, but what I keep coming back to for everyday use is Fluxbox, and some of the time ion2. Mostly Fluxbox feels very intuitive and plain. I agree the suckless people are very interesting. -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/WindowBoundingRect-in-Linux-tp2993052p2994624.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
