[Feature Request] Having gaps when maximizing windows #102

Open GuillaumeAmat opened 2 months ago

GuillaumeAmat commented 2 months ago

Hey there, thanks a lot for this great extension :bow:

Currently, when I maximize a window with the Super + Up Arrow shortcut, there's no gap around it, even though I have some, configured in the settings.

The gaps are rightfully present with the other shortcuts, and when dropping the windows into the tiles, but never when maximizing.

Is that on purpose?

Hey! Thank you for opening this issue!

It is on purpose: when the SUPER + Up Arrow shortcut is used to maximize the window, it will have the same behavior expected when you press the maximize button, which doesn't take gaps into account

Thanks for the heads-up!

Though, I don't understand why the gaps are present when maximizing by dragging the window at the top of the screen :thinking:

Would you consider creating a "gap on maximize" opt-in feature? :crossed_fingers:

That's because when you drag to the top the window doesn't get maximized, instead it gets resized to almost the same screen size and considering gaps as well. There is a setting in the extension's preferences to enable/disable this.

Would you consider creating a "gap on maximize" opt-in feature? 🤞

Sure! Why not :smile: I'm looking forward to understand if GNOME supports maximizing a window and adding gaps as well.
