Maximize a window and remove borders

Configuration Decorations and bindings

Hi!

I like the style of window with rather thick borders - 10px. But when a window is maximized there is no point in occupying so much space by borders. Therefore I created a small function that removes borders when a window is maximized.
Currently it looks like this:

DestroyFunc myMaximize
AddToFunc myMaximize

  • I Current (!Maximized) WindowStyle !Handles !Borders
  • I Current (Maximized) WindowStyle Handles Borders
  • I Current (!Maximized) WindowStyle HandleWidth 0 BorderWidth 0
  • I Current (Maximized) WindowStyle HandleWidth 10 BorderWidth 10
  • I Current Maximize

The problem is a window is maximized leaving 20px wide space on the right and on the bottom. I think it gets maximized counting that borders are still present.

Please help me to resolve the issue.

Yet another person who’s reinvented this.

You want the ResizeHintOverride style condition.

Thomas thank you for the reply.

I added the following line in my config:

Style * ResizeHintOverride

but unfortunately that did not do anything. Windows are not maximized to the full screen.

Please help me as I am novice and I am having hard time finding information.

Thank you in advance.

I figured it out.

I needed UpdateStyles command after removing borders.

No.

I think what I’ll do is add the ability to do this in FVWM directly.
