Make the “Options” window maximizable

Open SergeVDev opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

Suggestion

Above all, thank you guys very much for the nice application!

I guess, the “Options” window behavior is a bit weird. I cannot neither attach it to a border in Windows 11, nor just maximize.

I believe that any window with a lot of scrollable content, that doesn't fit in a whole FullHD screen, should be maximizable for better UX.

It looks like on Windows simple adding WS_MAXIMIZEBOX to its style set does the thing. (Not sure about other OSes).

Regards,

Use case

You mean the "Torrent options..." window?

On Linux (Debian with KDE Plasma desktop environment) it is maximizable. It's just missing the dotted triangle in the bottom-right corner, like the "Open torrent files" window has, from what I can see.

No, I mean the dialog, opened by Tools → Options… command. It is resizable, but not maximizable.

I still don't know where that is. In the menu Tools I have only these: Torrent creator... Manage cookies... Preferences

I don't see any "Options..." anywhere.

@Danny3

Many words have multiple synonyms, some are used to or prefer to call Options as Preferences or Settings.

I have it: image

On Linux, Debian 12 (with the 'testing' repository) and KDE Plasma desktop environment (on Wayland) + Klassy window decorations. I'm using that windows as maximized for a very long time so I'm not even sure if I ever seen it as non-maximizable. Maybe it's a Windows-only problem.
