Default window size at 150 % scaling

I use a fractional scaling factor of 150 % to make my HTPC usable with Gnome, many thanks for that, first! But now, almost all windows I open take up the whole vertical space, and horizontally-wide, there are just small borders on both sides. I attached a screen shot.

At such small effective window sizes, real windows don’t make that much sense anymore. So I thought, maximizing all application windows by default would be useful. What do you think?
Comment 1 Florian Müllner 2017-12-19 20:12:39 UTC 
We do automaxize windows that are so big that they cover most of the screen, but it works in terms of work area (that is, something like "at least 80% of the available area"), not either width or height.

For maximizing *all* windows, at least on small screens, there's an existing request in bug 651075.
