Application window size

Post by vostrushka »

The application takes entire screen instead of remembering what size I changed it to last time.
Changing virtual desktop size with winecfg did not help.
I've seen some old messages about this very problem. Some referencing bugs in the code but it was some time ago from now.
Is it still a unsolved bug?
Is there a way to set up the size of the application window?
Is it Wine problem or X11?
I am on MAC OSX but I think the problem will show on Linux too.
Wine version is 1.6.2 installed from Mac Ports.
Regards

To my knowledge, remembering window size and position is application specific, or requires a window manager or background app that has that feature, like devilspie in Linux.

The virtual desktop size is the initial size of the virtual desktop. The windows application can change that size if configured to a different screen resolution than the virtual desktop size. Check that your application is set to the size you want.

Please, also check that "allow window manager to control windows" is checked in winecfg too.
