feature request: Option to ignore display limits #456

Open samaby-99 opened 3 years ago

samaby-99 commented 3 years ago

Use case:

I want to organize my display tightly and efficiently while using a windows based desktop environment/window-manager. I am using a flexible Panel (in my case: Plank - https://launchpad.net/plank), which fills half of the bottom of a screen and is configured to restrict the usable screen size so that a maximized application window will not overlap it. I would furthermore want Tilda to use the other half of the bottom of that screen.

Problem:

Tilda ignores raising or lowering the X- and Y-Position if either underflows or exceeds the display limits.

Solution suggestion:

A checkbox in the Appearance section of the Tilda Preferences window that allows Tilda to ignore the display limits alltogether OR that allows Tilda to use the full range of a display/screen size before limitations of such panels kick in.

Thanks for considering.

P.S.: I love Tilda and I am using it ever since I discovered it. I think the set of options is great already and they make it quite versatile.
