 |
|
Hello!
Are there any command line switches to start program in maximized window? Just like on win 'start /max'.
Especially, I need it for gnome-terminal. It's extremely annoying to type alt-f10 or f11 every time I start it.
Command line switch '--full-screen' work's poorly. I mean, about half time it doesn't work at all.

Most often these options will be program specific. For gnome-terminal you might make sure you're calling it correctly. The help says:
| Code: | | --full-screen Set the last-specified window into fullscreen mode; applies to only one window; can be specified once for each window you create from the command line. |

I just use 'gnome-terminal --hide-menubar --full-screen'.
I'v mapped it to hot key. I press it several times and one time terminal is full screen, other time not... |

OR *cough* you could *cough* try a... *cough* *cough* *cough*
Tiling Window Manager!
Like Xmonad, dwm, wmii, ratpoison, ion3...
I admit, that's a radical step, though...

I can't belief, there is no way to start gnome-terminal full-screen! 
I've tried --geometry, but it isn't what I need...
Any ideas? |

emerge devilspie, then add some text files to the ~/.devilspie directory like maximize.ds.
Then add some code to the file like:
| Code: | (if
(contains (window_name "Gnome Terminal")(maximize)
)
|
This isn't the exact code that you will need but should give you some direction. |

Looking at the help file, gnome terminal has a switch to make it full screen.
Simply do | Code: | | gnome-terminal --full-screen |
in the terminal |
