frame maximization and fonts

frame maximization and fonts

[David Abrahams]

I have a .emacs file which causes my NTEmacs sesions to start with a
maximized frame.  It begins:


    (setq w32-enable-italics t)
    (setq w32-enable-synthesized-fonts t)
    (set-default-font "-*-Lucida Console-normal-r-*-*-12-96-96-96-c-*-iso8859-1")
    (set-face-font 'italic "-*-Lucida Console-normal-i-*-*-12-96-96-96-c-*-*-1")
    (set-face-font 'bold-italic "-*-Lucida Console-bold-i-*-*-12-96-96-96-c-*-*-1")

    ;; on Windoze systems, filenames are not case-sensitive. If we don't arrange for
    ;; them to come out lower-case when listed, useful toys like ediff-directories
    ;; won't work properly.
    (if (eq system-type 'windows-nt)
        ;; Hook the directory-files function.
        (progn
          ;; Irrelevant stuff snipped

          (defun w32-maximize-frame ()
            "Maximize the current frame"
            (interactive)
            (w32-send-sys-command 61488))

          (w32-maximize-frame)
          ))


This works fine with emacs 21.2.1, but with a recent build from the
CVS HEAD (like 3 days ago), my experience is different:

The frame appears to grow to fill the entire screen, but then, almost
instantaneously, it gets about 30 pixels shorter (the bottom edge of
the frame moves up).  This happens even if I put the call to
w32-maximize-frame at the very end of my .emacs file.  Any clues?


Thanks in advance,
Dave

Could be related to tool-bar-mode.

Are you disabling tool-bar-mode on your .emacs? On the registry (with
Emacs.Toolbar = 0)? None of the above?


                                                           /L/e/k/t/u

Yep:

    (custom-set-variables
      ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it!
      ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.

      ...

     '(tool-bar-mode nil nil (tool-bar))

      ...

     '(use-dialog-box nil))


Got a fix for me?

Thanks for your attention to this,
Dave

At the risk of shooting fishes on a barrel, try:

* setting Emacs.Toolbar = 0 on the registry (that's
HKLM\Software\Gnu\Emacs\Emacs.Toolbar)

* deleting the customization for tool-bar-mode, and

* adding the following to your .emacs:

  (let ((lines (car-safe (assq 'tool-bar-lines default-frame-alist))))
    (when (and lines
               (integerp lines)
               (> lines 0))
      (add-hook 'window-setup-hook #'(lambda () (tool-bar-mode -1)))))


Hope this helps,

I don't have any such setting in my registry, so I added
HKeyLocalMachine\Software\Gnu\Emacs\Emacs.Toolbar as a binary value
of 0000.

Fills the screen, but the toolbar is still visible.

Thanks for trying,
Dave

Try executing bin/addpm.exe; it should create HKLM\Software\Gnu\Emacs
and some values in it.

Use a string, of value "0".

I already have that, just no Emacs.Toolbar.

I'll try.  Works!

So should I report this as a bug somehow/somewhere, or is this
posting sufficient?

It's been reported several times:

That's a relief.  Many thanks for your help, Juanma!
