Hm, it's not a good idea to use one and the same parameter for two
different concepts. But if I think about it, two parameters which
exclude each other (there's no such thing as a vertically maximized
fullscreen window) are even worse.
So now I agree with Jason! ;-)
If someone would ask me which parameter and values I'd choose, here
they're:
- Parameter: maximize
I think that's better than fullscreen, cause fullscreen can be
seen as special maximization, whereas something like
vertically maximized is surely no special version of
fullscreen.
- Values:
vertical: maximized vertically, e.g. window fits from top of
the usable screen (usable = screen, where no taskbar
is) till the bottom
horizontal: Same as vertical, but from left to right
both or t: vertical + horizontal
fullscreen: What do you guess?!
Bye,
Tassilo
