Specifying the Maximum Size of a Window

007-4209-003
Because the DCD provides a large logical display (for example, 2560 x 1024), some
applications use all the available space and display a single window across both of your
monitors. If this happens, you can specify the maximum size of a window as follows:
1. As root, use an editor such as NEdit to open the file
/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/4DWm.
2. Under 4Dwm Specific Appearance and Behavior Resources, enter the following:
*maximumMaximumSize: 1280x984
This constrains the maximum window size to 1280 x 1024. The 40-pixel vertical
difference is for the title bar and the top and bottom window borders.
3. Save the file and exit the editor.
4. Restart Window Manager by logging out and logging back in, or by selecting
Toolchest > System > Utilities > Restart Window Manager and clicking OK.
The above procedure limits the size of a maximized window, but the entire window
may not appear on one of your monitors. To display the window on one of your
monitors, click the Maximize button, and then move the window to the desired
monitor.
