Hi everyone... Im running Arch with openbox as my main DE. I really like it, but there is just one thing that make me angry. When i open an application (such as firefox or dolphin) its window appears covering almost the size of my screen. I have to maximize the window for just cover 2 or 3 pixels more.
I know that in rc.xml, i can define rules to make windows matching the some name, behave as i like (start maximized in this case). But is annoying (and innapropriate) to make one of these rules (matching name) for each application i'd like to start maximized.
I tried defining a rule, matching the tipe of window. I tought was fine, till a dialog box appeared. Its had the size of my entire screen (ugly for a dialog box).
If anybody can tell me which rule could match common applications, i'll be thankfull.
Best Regards Archers!

<application class="*">
<maximized>yes</maximized>
</application>
This will make all windows maximized by default, which I think is what you want.
EDIT: Actually, if you don't want dialogs to be maximized, try that, and this, I think:
<application type="dialog">
<maximized>no</maximized>
</application>

Thanks kmason... It worked with just
<application class="*">
<maximized>yes</maximized>
</application>
Is weird, because the dialogs don't get maximized, so i didn't need the other codes.
