Can I make a window open higher on the screen?

[moncha]

Maximized windows open slightly below the top edge of my screen. Is it possible to adjust that? Firefox is an example.

I'm using 2.17 with ezpup so icewm is my window manager.

Thanks!

Can you see the background above the maximized window?

If not you probably just need to adjust your vertical height and /or position with the monitor controls.

I have the same setup, with the same problem. Should be simple fix, though. I'm gonna check it out now. I'll edit if I discover anything.

Well, must be really difficult or really simple or I'm just tired. I thought I remembered seeing something about a setting that adjusts padding between windows and around the edges of the screen. Guess not. Sorry.

I think it is a theme-issue.

Theme configuration requires to set a title-height.
If the grafics for the titlebar then is smaller, it looks like as if the window is not at top, though in reality it is.
You just have a transparent area on top of the titlebar.
You had to fix the theme to avoid that.

Btw from my tests here is a small tool to set an additional desktop-border.

Like this you can keep for example some uncovered icons on the left side of the screen.

/usr/local/bin/desktopborders

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/puppybasic

include "/usr/lib/wxbasicscript/basefunctions.inc"

// create a dummy-window, required by wmstruts
mylist=xwin_createsimplewindow()
id=mylist[0]
id="0x" & id

// move it to a seldom used virtual desktop, so that it is no listed in the taskbar
xwin_movetoworkspace(id , 2)

// set new borders for the desktop, left, right, top, bottom
xwin_setwmstruts(id , 60 ,0, 0, 0)

// endless loop
while 1

xwin_usleep(999999999999999999)

wend

Thanks for the help. Yes I can see the desktop background above the titlebar. I'll try your suggestion MU.
