Is it possible to force all application windows to open at a specific resolution (i.e. a set specific size like 1280x720 pixels)?
1 Answer
Yes, though it doesn't work very well.
- Install ccsm,
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
(note ccsm is pretty buggy). - Start ccsm, go to the window management section
- Enable "Window Rules"
- In the options for "Window Rules", choose the "Size rules" tab
- Click new, then the +
- Choose your window (by class is usually best but it takes some experementing)
- Set your width and height.
- Apply everything and enjoy your fixed window heights.

A screenshot would be helpful. All I see under window management section are: Grid, Move Window, Place Windows, Resize Window, Scale, Snapping Windows (and I checked then, and there seems to be no relevant option. I'll keep looking).– its_meNov 28, 2012 at 17:33

1Hmm make sure you have the plugins installed.
sudo compiz-plugins-default

1Terminal says, "compiz-plugins-default is already the newest version." But I still don't see the options that you are.– its_meNov 28, 2012 at 17:47

1Nope, looks like it's time for a new question: "What package installs the compiz plugin 'Window Rules'"– coteyrNov 28, 2012 at 18:15
