Setup maximizing package explorer

Mon Aug 3 07:38:00 GMT 2009

Hey,
I've been using the 1.7 releases and they're quite nice. However, I've 
been noticing a minor inconvenience with the new setup: It maximizes to 
fullscreen when entering the package explorer. I'm sure this is a nice 
feature on smaller monitors where people often run programs maximized, 
but for those using larger resolutions like 1920x1200 it just creates 
lots of useless white area on the screen, and on a 30" 2560x1600 
resolution 95% of the screen is covered in white which seems kind of 
excessive.
My suggestion would be to do one of the following:
1. Don't maximize, let user choose if he wants his programs fullscreen 
by doing it themselves.
2. Make the maximization conditional and only do it for small display 
resolutions.
3. Add a checkbox that is remembered between runs so the user can state 
their preference.
Would be nice to see one of these implemented, even if it's just a minor 
inconvenience to un-maximize every time running the setup.
Best Regards,
Arne Pajunen
