timmy ashby:
|i was wondering if anyone else had this problem.
|when i am working under xfree86 and open up a program,,it opens them in
|really huge windows.with netscape and some other programs you can
|add a line for them in .Xdefaults,,but a lot of programs wont let you do
|that.
|
|can someone please tell me how to make the windows smaller?
|like how to make a default size for the windows or something.
The
-geometry <width>x<height>
cmd line option is the convention but not all apps honor it.
<AppClassName>.geometry: <width>x<height>
in .Xdefaults or an app class resource files works for some. You can
usually test these resource settings using the cmd line option:
-xrm "<AppClassName>.geometry: <width>x<height>"
Some apps have their own names and/or formats for these cmd line options
and/or resources (try -help or --help on the cmd line to see). A few have
their own config file, or just don't let you specify the size.
Usually one of the standards forms work though. Hope this helps.
