Skin Behavior

[Talon]

With the new skin setup, when I maximize the window it covers the Windows 2000 taskbar; the old HD left it visible.

Hrrrm....interesting.

The problem appears to be with Java itself in that case. When I enable the Java2 1.4.x feature of using its own "window decorations" -- the border and title bar around the main frame -- the app will take up the entire screen when maximized.

If I turn off that feature, then it works like before (leaving the start bar showing).

I'll do some digging on it, but I'm not sure that there's much I can do about it, other than turning off that feature completely...

It's also not remembering the screen position correctly; it opens up at the right size, but about 100 pixels right and 75 below where it should be.

I'm not showing that behavior at all....I just lined a copy up with the startbar and checked the horizontal position....shut down and restart -- it came up precisely where it was when I closed it.

What skin are you using when you see that?

I'm using Metal.

Further investigation reveals that it only seems to happen when I resize the window to near-maximum (i.e., trying to get the maximized effect without covering my taskbar). If I make it smaller than my screen, it remembers just fine.

Sounds like you had a part of it off screen (if only slightly).

The position will only be restored if the x,y position of the top left corner is > 0 (for both x and y). If the top is slightly off the top edge of the screen, or the left edge is slightly off the left edge (etc), the app will just be centered on restart....at least, as well as it can be.

Mine too.
