How do I work out the maximum available desktop area, taking into
account desktop furniture such as taskbars? I also need to find the size
of the title bars and borders for windows.
The reason is I want to make a window as large as possible for the
current display, but I do not want to use a maximised window because I
want to keep to a fixed aspect ratio.
Thanks
Tony
I don’t think you can get taskbar sizing/space, or at least not directly
through the SDL api, but just for the desktop area, you can enumerate the
desktops available, and get their respective resolutions with
http://wiki.libsdl.org/moin.fcg/SDL_GetNumVideoDisplays and
http://wiki.libsdl.org/moin.fcg/SDL_GetDisplayBounds
I don’t know of any api-specific ways of getting the task bar
placement/size off hand, but maybe someone else on the list/forum can point
you in the right direction.
