My laptop has a display resolution of 1366x768. Every now and then, I’ll encounter a window whose default height is over 768 and thus won’t fit entirely within my screen. The GTK file picker comes to mind, though it is resizable without much fuss. But then there are those that cannot be resized and being unable to move the titlebar further up, I am forced to use Alt+F7 to see what’s at the bottom.
I suspect that many programs today are designed to work comfortably on higher resolution displays, but not really tested on smaller ones. Understandably, developers only have so much time and 1366x768 is getting long in the tooth. Just wanted to put this out there since nobody seems to be talking about it.
There’s a workaround to this in hyprland in that you can rclick anywhere on the window to resize it (while holding meta), unsure if gnome/kde have this feature but I imagine it’s possible
GNOME does have that. Meta + right click anywhere in the window will bring up a menu for window operations.
In hyprland you click and drag to resize the window, is that the same?
This (well, with alt) has been a standard thing in x11 for decades. KDE kept it (with meta) when it added a Wayland backend to kwin.
