Running a full screen game doesn't open it for the whole screen

[rinnarii]

Expected Behavior

Running a game from application menu that is set to full screen should do as such

Current Behavior

It opens the game on a partial part of the screen which is not showing the whole window and without the minimize/maximize/close

Possible Solution

Does the application launcher does things differently when launching wine?

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Create .desktop file with Exec=wine /home/user/BattleRealms/Battle_Realms_F.exe
2. Run the newly created application entry.

Context

When I launch it from PCManFM-Qt it just full screened just fine. Same with going to the directory with the terminal and doing wine Battle_Realms_F.exe.
Or to make it work when launching from the application launcher, it should be wine start /max Battle_Realms_F.exe
Somehow when it's launched from the application menu its just on a small window and the graphics doesn't fit on it.

This may be related to the window manager and how it opens a window when a menu is closed simultaneously. Have you tried another WM? You didn't say which WM you use.

[rinnarii]

I didn't try changing the WM from the default one, which I assume is Openbox

[tsujan]

There's no default WM, and Openbox is dead.

Closing because the WM is responsible for these things, not LXQt.

[rinnarii]

So should I report the bug to Openbox instead?

Btw when I installed lxqt on arch, the package group contains openbox that it uses, thats what I meant default.

And what wm does lxqt usually used with these days?

Its development has stopped...

What users or distros choose. Debian ships it with xfwm4, me under x11 use mostly kwin, althought I'm 99% of the time on wayland using labwc, but this requires at least compiling the panel from a PR here and some other hacks.

A Wayland session is really too soon for ordinary users, especially because they can't use git.

As mentioned above, under X11, xfwm4 and kwin_x11 are very good WMs that come with their own compositors (you need to disable any other compositor you may have used with Openbox), but there are also other good WMs (which I haven't tried).

Openbox is dead, although it can still be used by many. However, it has bad issues that will never be fixed, especially with multi-screen settings but not limited to them.
