In my i3 window covers i3bar. So I opened the thread :)Tue, 07 Oct 2014 22:38:35 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4706/maximize-window-not-fullscreen-is-it-possible/?answer=4711#post-id-4711https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4706/maximize-window-not-fullscreen-is-it-possible/?comment=5843#comment-5843Consider a complex split/tabbed layout with a couple of terminals. It would be nice to quickly enlarge a single container to the full viewport with keeping i3bar in the bottom. Going fullscreen makes i3bar disappear, which is probably not the users/my intention. That's how I understand the problem.Mon, 20 Apr 2015 20:42:25 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4706/maximize-window-not-fullscreen-is-it-possible/?comment=5843#comment-5843https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4706/maximize-window-not-fullscreen-is-it-possible/?answer=4707#post-id-4707*A fullscreen window will not cover i3bar.* On the other side, if you mean "maximize width/height" there's no such thing in i3 (differently from stacking WMs) since the desktop space is always completely filled. **Edit**: A little misunderstanding here (my initial statement about fullscreen windows): maximize means (to me) use all available screen space - this doesn't include the space taken by i3bar, if present and it's the default behaviour of i3/any tiling wm (fill the screen, as stated above, with i3 bar visible). "Fullscreen" takes *also* i3bar space. If you want to spare a few more pixels you can remove window titles/borders for specific applications.Tue, 07 Oct 2014 20:16:01 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4706/maximize-window-not-fullscreen-is-it-possible/?answer=4707#post-id-4707
