[Bug 29947] New: Option to set virtual desktops to the current resolution

Bug #: 29947 Summary: Option to set virtual desktops to the current resolution Product: Wine Version: 1.4-rc4 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected] Classification: Unclassified

At default the option "Emulate a virtual desktop" is set to 800x600 in winecfg. What about an option that sets the desktop size for virtual desktops automatically to the resolution of the system?

If the virtual desktop is not needed we can remove it. But the virtual desktop is still needed because it can solve a lot of problems.

This is not "a lot of problems", isn't it?

Surely there would be much more problems if we would look at every open bug report. But one argument is still missing: Why do we have the virtual desktop if there are "no problems"?

--- Comment #9 from Jerome Leclanche [email protected] 2012-02-24 07:27:17 CST --- (In reply to comment #8) Because it's useful and, as you said, it does solve issues.

This is quite irrelevant to the original enhancement request anyway. You have the option to change the virtual desktop resolution. It might be interesting to make the default resolution identical as the resolution at wineboot, but that's up to whoever would work on it (and julliard) to decide whether it's worth it.

--- Comment #10 from Vitaliy Margolen [email protected] 2012-02-24 08:31:57 CST --- Setting VD's size to main monitor's size won't help everyone and will create lots of issues.

For example I only use VD that is smaller then my main display's resolution. Or I'm setting it to the size of my secondary monitor. In both cases this is not what you asked. Especially auto updating on boot.

It could be an additional checkbox in winecfg which is only clickable if "Emulate a virtual desktop" is activated. It could be named "Automatically use the system resolution".

--- Comment #12 from Austin English [email protected] --- This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 2 years. Is this still an issue in current (1.7.28 or newer) wine? If so, please attach the terminal output in 1.7.28 (see http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log).

Not a bot, I'm a human ;).

--- Comment #16 from Zebediah Figura [email protected] --- Are we also envisioning that the virtual desktop be borderless in this case? It'd have to be to fit on the screen, but that also presents its own set of problems. Or should the size take into account window decorations?

--- Comment #17 from [email protected] --- My initial thought when I created this ticket all the years ago was that such an option would just map transparently to the screen resolution (as if the screen resolution would have been entered manually into the "Desktop size" fields of "Emulate a virtual desktop").

--- Comment #18 from Alex Henrie [email protected] --- In Wine 9.8 (commit b86cc9e6589), `wine explorer /desktop=foobar` did open a borderless window that filled the entire screen, but in Wine 9.15 (commit 5ffe201c251) it went back to being a bordered window with a default size. I was hoping that the fullscreen feature would stick around.
