Under Linux (Mint 17 “Qiana”, LXDE desktop environment), I can toggle
full-screen mode by pressing F11. This seems to happen through the
window manager, and affects all programs, whether they use SDL or not.
However, I don’t see any way to detect this happening through SDL. I
get SDL_WINDOWEVENT_MAXIMIZED events when the window is maximized, but
only generic SDL_WINDOWEVENT_RESIZED events when the window goes to or
from full screen. (Other programs can and do respond to full screen
toggle through F11.) In addition, if I create a full screen window with
SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP and then press F11, I get a window that is
resizable even through I did not specify SDL_WINDOW_RESIZABLE.–

No, I’m /supposed/ to get SDL_WINDOWEVENT_MAXIMIZED events when the
window is maximized, but it turns out that I get a
SDL_WINDOWEVENT_RESIZED event instead. This, at least, is a clear bug,
so I reported it as https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2793.On 27.11.2014 13:19, Rainer Deyke wrote:

Aren’t fullscreen and maximized conceptually different though? With the
former the client
contents take up the entire screen, while with maximized you still have the
window decorations
around it.
Also, how would you react differently based on whether you’re maximized? If
you get a resized
event, just draw your contents at that size, and it will just work, no?

Yes, they are. A window can have one of four states: normal, minimized,
maximized, or full screen. SDL provides ways to check for the first
three (although they seem to be broken for Linux, at least in my desktop
environment), but no way to check for the last one.
(To complicate things, these states can “stack”. For example, if a
maximized window is minimized and then restored, it should restore to a
maximized state. Maximized, minimized, and full screen are best
represented as individual bits, where the full screen bit overrides the
maximized bit and the minimized bit overrides the other two bits if
multiple bits are set.)
Also, how would you react differently based on whether you’re maximized? If
you get a resized
event, just draw your contents at that size, and it will just work, no?
I’m trying to save the state of the window so that I can restore it to
the same state when program is run again. This includes saving the
maximized and full screen states. Other programs react to the full
screen state (but not the maximized state) by hiding UI elements such as
the menu bar.On 28.11.2014 10:30, Jonas Kulla wrote:
