OpenSUSE :: Auto Resize Window When Moved To The Sides ( KDE )?
Apr 7, 2010
I used linux for a long time now, mostly ubuntu-based distros but these days I decided to try openSUSE. Must say, It is a really nice distro, with lots of new features. There is one that I never seen before but I admit it is very useful: the auto resize window feature. I use the 11.3 (KDE) (milestone 4) version. Just wanted to ask if this is a package for ths or is hard-coded into the system? And is it KDE-specific?

Like, if I drag a window to the top of the screen, somehow this is supposed to mean I want the window full screen. Screw that if I wanted it full screen I'd have clicked the button on the top of the menu. Windows 7 does this too and it just as annoying.

Does anyone else know of a terminal emulator that scales the fonts automatically when a window is resized?
My eyesight is horrible but I want to use more terminal applications. I also use AwesomeWM for tiling, so windows resize frequently. Also on the short list are cut/paste by keyboard and good support for launching links.

the resize of the window in gnome in 11.3 was by dragging a blue screen indicating the resize area of the window now its by dragging the whole window which results in a very sluggish experience on my intel VGA here how can i change it to the old blue way ?

The thing is I can resize the window vertically, but horizontally I cannot. When I put the pointer on the right or left edge of lancelot window the pointer becomes the resize pointer, but usual click and drag does not do anything on the window. Vertically it works fine.
Can I just delete Lancelot setting file to reset it? It seems I could not find where the settings are.

I have just noticed a nice feature in Windows 7 - when you drag a window to the edge of the screen (the mouse pointer must touch the edge), windows offers you to resize the window to exactly half of the screen size. This is actually very handy on the wide screen monitors.
Is it possible (and how) to configure Kde 4 to do the same thing?

If you don't know, users are able to quickly resize windows using the "ALT+MiddleClick" key shortcut/combo. Basically, hold the ALT key, and mouse middle click and hold on a window. Move the mouse around, and it will resize the window for you.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1) Open a single Window.
2) Near the bottom-right-hand corner of the window, ALT+MiddleClick and drag. It should resize. Great. It works.
What Doesn't Work:
Now, the problem arises when you have multiple windows open on the desktop, they are "layered". i.e. you might have several windows open "behind" the one currently "up front". Example:
If I try to ALT+MiddleClick the "foreground window", it rarely actually resizes THAT window, and instead jumps one of the windows from behind to the front, and resizes that one instead!
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1) Open 3x gnome-terminal windows and say some nautilus window. Place them overtop one another. (like the above image)
2) Try to ALT+MiddleClick the foreground window.
3) Repeat this always trying to grab the foreground window.
For me, the window manager seems to bring some window from the background to the front! Desktop Recording of the Problem: [URL]
Running:
* Ubuntu 10.10
* compiz window manager (the problem does not occur with metacity)
* ATI Radeon RV770 (HD4870) w/ open source Radeon Driver (same problem w/ fglrx driver)
* Versions: [URL]

I have a minor problem with gvim. My gvim never maximizes. Whenever I try to maxmize it automatically shrinks from right side and bottom. Don't know if anyone else faces this problem, but I have faced this even after re-installing the system It is not a show stopper but surely an irritant.
I am using openSUSE 11.2, KDE 4.3.5.

With openSUSE 11.1 and SLES 11 I was able to hide the autologin window by doing the following:
Yast2 > System > /etc/sysconfig editor >
Then within "/etc/sysconfig editor":
Desktop > Display Manager > DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN = user
My user account does autologin as it should.
However, the autologin is displayed.
This screen shows the login window, the default SUSE green background and a bottom panel. Even if it only shows for a few seconds (and then goes away by itself), it is quite annoying as it ignores my current theme and no bottom panel. Is there another way to go around this? Or could this be a bug since it worked fine for openSUSE 11.1 and SLES 11? I'm using an Intel Atom N270 (945GSE + ICH7) with Intel GMA 950 type of system.

I have a script I only want to run when a window is being dragged around. Is there an environmental variable or something that will tell me whether one is moving and which one it is? I'm using Ubuntu Lucid if it matters.

I'm looking at the Memory settings in virt-manager, and it seems that the Maximum allocation setting implies that the assigned memory for the VM can expand up to that amount (e.g. 512MB). Currently I have 128MB set as the change allocation, which is reported in the VM, and 512MB as the maximum allocation. If I fill up a tmpfs ramdisk past 128MB, the VM kills all new processes until I force the current allocation to 512MB and unmount the ramdisk. I can then return the assigned memory to 128MB. I'm hoping that there's a tool that I'm overlooking that will automatically increase and decrease the amount of memory within the maximum setting.

I recently upgraded to 11.04 and I've been tweaking Unity to get the desktop just the way I like it. I've come across two minor problems though:
1. When I tweak the icon size settings in the Unity tab of CCSM, the icons do not change size; they remain at the default "48" setting regardless of what I type in.
2. When I set the Unity launcher to auto-hide (also in the Unity tab of CCSM), it stays at the default "dodge windows" setting.
Are there any workarounds to change these settings when tweaking them in CCSM's interface does not work? (Or is there some trick I don't know to get CCSM to work properly?)

I'm running Lucid 10.04, and I found something rather annoying that I can't find in the forums after a few searches, and would love to see fixed or hear a current solution for. When I try to manually resize a window (like FF or the terminal), I can't grab the left or right sides of it, only the top, bottom, or a side/corner that's flush against the side of the screen. The grab arrow barely appears for the most atomic fraction of time, and sometimes, even if moving slowly, doesn't appear at all. It's not a SUPER big deal, just an annoying aspect of the GUI. If I use my touchpad, I can grab a side if I move super slow, but I hate using that. I use a LogiTech M215 optical mouse. Realistically, I could just change mouse settings a bit and experiment, but that doesn't fix the problem that the "grab area" of the edges of a window is really, really tiny.

Is there a way to increase the area around a window that can change its size? When I'm using the touch-pad I'm not that stable (to much coffee) and find it really had to get the mouse to sit on the one pixel that allows you to resize a window. Or another way to resize a window?

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and the window for Gnome Color Chooser that I have installed is no longer able to be resized. I can move it around when I do an alt + mouse click, but the window is too big to view all of the options it contains. The normal ability to resize the windows by their corners no longer exists on the program and the keyboard shortcut to resize the window does not work either.

I can't move/resize/decorate/restore the vlc window. It takes up the entire screen (even though it is not in full screen mode) on one of my monitors. I'm using Openbox. This doesn't happen with any other type of window.[URL]..

For some reason the printer configuration window opens so that about the bottom 1/4 of it is off the screen.
I cannot resize it or see what is down there. When I click on my printer (epson work force 610) I can see the Driver details line but I cannot see below that so I have no idea what driver I am using. How come this window opens so tall and is not re-sizable??

This isn't a HUGE deal, just a little annoying. When I move the cursor to the edge of a window to resize it, i only get the resize arrow in a very small area and it takes me several tries to get it just right. Is there anyway to broaden the resize area threshold or something?

I have Ubuntu 10.10 running on a partition off of my Win7 hard drive. The thing I really like about Windows 7 is when I hit windows key+left or win+right, the current window will snap over to the left half or right half of the screen, respectively.

Is there a way to make bottom-right window resize handles disappear in Ubuntu 11.04? I run a tiling window manager and thus have no use for them, especially since they can distract and cover information. How do I make them permanently go away?

I was wondering if it's possible to remove the triangular resize window button from the bottom-right corner of a particular window (or all windows, doesn't matter). I recently made it so that I have a transparent terminal (with no title bar, borders, etc.) docked onto my desktop, but the one thing I can't get rid of is the ugly-looking resize button hanging out by itself in the middle of the screen.

No where are how enable get back minimize resize close buttons windows top tab Fedora 15 Gnome3 gconf2
There is a question about this in this thread but the thread title did not have any of the above words in it and since most "new" folks don't think to use the "posts" option, I thought I'd make a new titled post.
This seems to be a big irritant of a lot of people around the net with Gnome 3 so I'm going to confirm what other people have said about how to fix the situation.
In "add software" enter this search term:
gconf
You will see quite a few returns, you should click the following:
A process-transparent configuration system (G Conf1-2.3 yada yada)
Graphical Gconf untilities (it may be pulled with the above however).
Install it/them.
One can then type "Gconf2" in terminal and it will open but then close when the terminal is closed, or one can go to activities/applications/tweak advanced settings( the symbol will be the same as for settings in Gnome 3).
In the "Shell" button one will see "Arrangement of buttons on the title bar". Surprisingly, "All" will already be apparent. One need merely verify that it is on "all".
Close gconf.
Nothing will have happened in terms of new buttons even if one closes and opens, say FireFox.
Then reboot.
After the reboot, all three buttons will be present.
There are not a LOT of configuration items in gconf2 but this one seems to be of paramount importance to a lot of people.
One can also do it from command line, and if someone wants to post that please feel free it won't hurt my feelings.

I'm a big fan of Gnome's alt/middle-click to resize a window. However, it doesn't work anymore for me, and I believe it stopped working (or got toggled off) when I installed the Unity desktop package (just wanted to check it out).
