Lubuntu force Windowsize cant reach&see buttons

[son-of-a-bit]

Hi there,

sorry for my very bad english....

I've used other Distributions before but the performance of LXDE is awesome and the windowmanager is nice.

Is there a any easy way to force the windowsize like in Kubuntu ?
The option "change size" cant change the size enough...
Some buttons are unreacheble.

I use it on a Netbook with a max display resolution of 1024x600 px.
I hate the most desktopremix .

either i not understood question, either... I can change window size by dragging window edge, it can be dragged as far as i need...

1. you can set window size manually:
$ wmctl -l
//lists all windows
0x00c0001e -1 kompas panel
0x00e00003 -1 kompas pcmanfm
0x01a00028 -1 kompas gdesklets-daemon
0x01600001 0 kompas Conky (kompas)
0x01e00004 0 kompas Shameless.US.s01e04.rus.eng.AlexFilm.avi - SMPlayer
0x0260008c 0 kompas LXDE.org Forum • Atsakymo rašymas – Mozilla Firefox
0x02800004 0 kompas LXTerminal
//i want resize terminal window and move it to right upper corner of screen and make it's size 200x200
$ wmctrl -r LXTerminal -e 0,0,0,200,200
//wmctrl -r LXTerminal -e 0,X,Y,width,height

2. maybe you need set correct resolution and not windowsize? run:
$ xrandr
in my case(i have two displays) it shows:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2080 x 1024, maximum 4096 x 4096
VGA-0 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 337mm x 270mm
1280x1024 60.0*+ 75.0
1024x768 75.1 75.0 70.1 60.0
832x624 74.6
800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2
640x480 72.8 75.0 66.7 60.0
720x400 70.1
DVI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
S-video connected 800x600+1280+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
800x600 59.9*+

line with "+" shows what resolution is set, maybe it's set not to 1024x600

Thank you for your fast response.

either i not understood question, either...

Sorry Maybe i hadn't explain my question correct.

I use a netbook with a maximum display resolution of 1024x600px . Some windows has a height of 700px and runs out of the display, so i not see the okay,apply button or whatever. i cant move the window or dialogue higher(out of the desktop top) and i cant drag it smaller as the sum height of all window elements...

I can change window size by dragging window edge, it can be dragged as far as i need...

Yes i can do this too. But some windows or dialogues have so many objects that the minimal height is limited to the sum height of its objects.
i can drag it to resize but it cant be dragged littler as the limit.

KDE gave me by rightklicking the above bar of the window a option "force window size" so the window can be resized of a user defined value for ex.: 800x400px . Was this value below the sum height of window elements i was able to scroll down and reach all elements and buttons.

$ wmctl -l
...
0x02800004 0 kompas LXTerminal
//i want resize terminal window and move it to right upper corner of screen and make it's size 200x200
$ wmctrl -r LXTerminal -e 0,0,0,200,200
//wmctrl -r LXTerminal -e 0,X,Y,width,height

That could work.
I am later at home to try it.
This is only a temporary change and is only used once, isn't it?
can i do something like this permanent for all windows and dialouges?

Thank you very much
I'll give feedback later

now understood what you want(english to me not native too). for that openbox window manager has "Margins". run "obconf"->Margins->set "top" and "bottom" to 112; "left" and "right" to 100. now all windows will be maximum 800x400. maybe they will be placed not like you want, so play with margins setting and sooner or later you set everything like you want:)

[son-of-a-bit]

Hm...
It does not work.
Other Windows like Webbrowsers accept the margin setting, but the Openbox config window ignore it and i cant rech the "close" button...
Some damn windows run out of the bottom =(

Ive installed wmctrl but some windows aren' effected from the command...

seems i've to use the netbook remix or something else -.-


But thank you a lot for your help

tested on my system, all windows uses my margin settings. tested all common applications including those which wrote with QT and those which are obsolete:) all respects my settings. openbox config window too respects margins. so either you(maybe distro installs something) use not openbox window manager, either you use proprietary GPU drivers and they uses own window manager, either your and mine expectations from that setting differs.

Hold Alt button, than catch the window with mouse and move the window. In this way you can put your window far above.
