tweakview: Maximize the window on small screens (1.12 KB, patch)

Description dan.consonni 2015-02-27 22:22:33 UTC 
In the file 
usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtweak/tweakview.py
the main windows is definies 950x700px, but this is a problem to use the application in monitor with only 600px of height (netbook).

Better reduce the height to 550.

tweakview: Maximize the window on small screens

Instead of possibly setting a minimum size that might not fit in small
screen let's just maximize the window in that case.

Comment 3 Jeremy Bicha 2018-08-23 12:33:01 UTC 
This commit caused problems and was reverted. Specifically, it made it so that the window would be way too small when unmaximized.

GNOME has a lot of issues when run on a screen that small and it didn't look like reverting the commit really made things worse. And we have far more users affected by the unmaximize bug than by the issues caused by running on a 600px high screen.

The change was made for GNOME 3.30 but I intend to backport it to 3.28.2 soon.
