Resizing virtual desktop to fit the screen?

Post by Artlav »

Is it possible to make the Wine virtual desktop to resize at runtime (i.e. get maximized), or start out at the maximized/full screen size?

I have a system with Wine in it accessible over VNC from computers with different screen resolutions, and it's rather clumsy to have to change the virtual desktop resolution every time.
Is there an option to maximize, or set it to full screen minus fixed offset, or anything at all useful like that?

You can specify a virtual desktop in the command line if you use wine explorer to start the app, e.g.

Code: Select all

wine explorer /desktop=1024x768 winecfg
will start winecfg in a 1024x768 virtual desktop.
