reset resolution

Open ghost opened this issue 7 years ago • 13 comments

Hi,

After trying to record a gif in full screen (by maximizing peek's window), I am unable to resize it because I dont see its borders.

I tried removing/reinstalling the application Deleting the cash file find / -name "peek" returned nothing

but still when I reinstall the application, it opens directly in wide mode and I dont see the borders. Is there a way to reset the resolution or to modify it in text mode ? (I did not find anything in peek -h)

Thanks so much for the help

Can you tell us what Desktop environment you are using? or are you using a tiling window manager?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

It's Debian 9 Linux mla_pc 4.9.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.88-1+deb9u1 (2018-05-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux with Mate Desktop Environment 1.16.2

Regards,

There is no way to change the window size from the command line as of now, I have never used mate, I am sure there are keybindings to change position of the window.

Do you have a open window list where you can maximize and minimize windows?

I have same problem in exactly the save environment. Is there any way to "Unfullscreen" app?

I had the same issue with Mate 1.12.1 + Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS.

I had to go into Mate's ControlCenter > Mate Tweak > Windows and set the Window Manager to 'Compiz', then set it to 'Marco (no compositor)' then finally back to my normal WM.

@CoryPulm Thanks a lot, it solves the issue. I just had to install both 'Mate Twea' and 'Compiz' with apt-get.

After over 2 years I bumped into this very issue. Can we have a fix for it or some kind of specifying height and/or width with cli arguments?

If that's relevant, I'm on Arch 5.9.1 with i3 4.18.3.

Also just bumped into this issue...

In my case: Connected another Monitor, which seems to fudged the coordinates and peek now opens somewhere where I can't see/reach it.

My system run's Fedora 33 (Gnome on X11).

If a fix is too complicated, a hint of a possible config/cache-file, which I can reset would also suffice.

I'm using KDE & stuck with peek as fullscreen. Looks like people have been struggling with this for 3.5 years now... :/

This worked for me: xdotool search --onlyvisible --classname "peek" windowmove %@ 300 300 and then I resized the window using my cursor. You could also use xdotool search --onlyvisible --classname "peek" windowsize %@ 500 500 to resize the window.

Unfortunately neither of those seem to work (Kubuntu 20.04). The command runs, but no change to Peek, which is still stuck maximized.

Meta+Pgup works.

Still don't understand why this is so hidden/difficult to figure out.
