Tilix: Make quake mode window "Height percent" up to 100%

[Anton-Latukha]

Good day.

It used to work great in old version.

Now scale is only to 90%. Makes Tilix not so comfortable (less space) and as good looking as before.

I have this problem for a number of month.

Version: tilix 1.5.6

_{Miscellaneous:
SDDM, X11, Plasma, KDE 5.
Arch Linux 4.10.13 x86_64}

Thank you for this application.
I recommend it to my different friends.

Regards,
Anton Latukha

As noted in previous bug reports, 100% isn't available because it causes issues with window managers. I'm travelling today and can't search for it but if you look through the issues you should be able to find it.

[Anton-Latukha]

Sorry.
I seen that discussion number of month ago.

This bothers me, because I live in it. So I pinged, maybe something changed.

On Kwin it was working truly great.

Maybe I can create fork for myself. And just change those damn 90 to 100.

Thank you.
Hope I donate in the future. I have interview today for that.

No worries, never hurts to check if there has been a change.

Good luck with the interview!

How about 99%? Is it still causes issues?
Can 99%-100% be added as an option (with warning)?

[gnunn1]

@Mentis Sorry, I'm not changing it since I'm the one that has to deal with bug reports about it :)

Some supplementary info:

How to determine window manager. Or at least desktop environment. It is possible to utilize XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for that. From what I see most graphical environments and distributions use that variable.

There are also other variables that was invented by DEs:
https://superuser.com/questions/1074068/what-is-the-difference-between-desktop-session-xdg-session-desktop-and-xdg-cur

https://askubuntu.com/questions/72549/how-to-determine-which-window-manager-is-running

But looks like almost all use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP now defacto.

XDG team for themselves done determination of environment, you can see that here:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-utils/tree/scripts/xdg-utils-common.in#n270

But I see it is not possible to get it from xdg-utils binaries. xdg-settings --list is the only option I found, and it doesn't supply that info.

_{P.S.
I am still looking for 8-5 work, I remember my word.}

90% only is an _extremely_ annoying bug

I've never seen a quake-mode terminal having issues with any window manager. Maybe just throw a warning when the user increases the value over 90%?

I do not know if it was fixed, but I am able now to press F11 and get full screen <3

@ser that one hides the panel in full screen

this worked well for me:
gsettings set com.gexperts.Tilix.Settings quake-height-percent 100

this worked well for me:
gsettings set com.gexperts.Tilix.Settings quake-height-percent 100

Excellent solution

The above workaround is for GTK-based environment.

For KDE Plasma

You can enforce applications obey your rules and the compositor by creating the rule in the Settings -> Window Management -> Window Rules -> New:

Rule matches for Tilix:

Now enforce the app to take all available vertical space:
