VLC does not #1444

Closed livni closed 3 months ago

Maximizing VLC leaves some of the window below the display. In particular the part with the controls, which is annoying. Reproduced with a 1920 x 1248, MPEG-4 AAC, H.264 file. This may be different for different aspect ratio videos, as I think what Rectangle does is match the width of the player with the width of the screen.

I imagine this is a product choice, however IMHO it's worse not seeing the whole window, than to maximize screen utilization.

macOS version: 14.5 Rectangle version: 0.82 (88) Logs if applicable (In Rectangle menu, hold option, "View Logging..."):

Thanks for reporting. Unfortunately, this is on VLC. Rectangle uses the Accessibility API in macOS to tell a window which dimensions to use and it is up to an app to respond correctly to those commands.

I sent them an email pointing to this thread, hopefully they'll address
