Maximize frame

Maximize frame

[Decebal]

I would like to maximize my Emacs on startup. I did find:
  (defun fullscreen ()
    (interactive)
    (x-send-client-message nil 0 nil "_NET_WM_STATE" 32
	    		 '(2 "_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN" 0)))

But that does a fullscreen, which loses the taskbar. Is there a way to
do a maximize instead of a fullscreen?

Have a look at full-frame in http://darcs.informatimago.com/public/emacs/pjb-emacs.el

you can use the following function and call it in your .emacs
set the height and width according to your screen.
This works on os x , linux and windows.

(defun na-resize-frame-big ()
  "Set size"
  (interactive)
  (set-frame-width (selected-frame) 178)
  (set-frame-height (selected-frame) 55 )
  (set-frame-position (selected-frame) 0 1))

I found severall functions which did something like that, but that is
only an aproximation. There is not a maximize screen equivalent for
_NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN?

I did something like this in the past with my .Xdefaults. But when
your screen resolution changes, it does not work anymore. Also I would
prefer one .emacs for all my systems and they have different
resolutions.

Unfortunately there is no function in Emacs to make a frame
fullscreen. What platform do you use Emacs on?

On http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=782196 I found:


(defun toggle-fullscreen ()

I tried that and it did not work. But now it works, so I think I made
an input mistake when I tried that.

I am working with Linux:
    GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
of 2009-05-08 on Traian

Michael had an option that almost does what I want.

There is one little problem with the toggle fullscreen. If for example
vert is allready maximized and horz not, I would like vert untouched
and horz maximized. Is this possible, or am I asking to much? (This
will not happen often and then I could use <ALT>+<F3> followed by x,
but I like to get rid of loose ends. ;-} )

This is a little strong a statement!  Obviously, the function 
   (lambda () (full-frame))
is a function in emacs to make a frame full screen (given my
full-frame function whose URI I mentionned previously), and it exists!

An alternative solution would be to use ratpoison or clumpwm.

There is another little problem. I put (toggle-fullscreen) into
my .emacs. And the frame is maximized. But later on it is made a
little smaller again. What could be happening here?

Maybe I should have written "maximize"? Emacs have no built in
functions to handle maximize. And you can not really add them from
elisp.

On w32 you can maximize a frame from within Emacs, but there is no way
to check if the frame is maxmized (since there is no built in function
for that) and the maximizing happens asynchronously (since you send a
w32 message to the w32 window manager and you can not wait in Emacs
for that message to be handled).

wmctrl is an option.
