Re: Windows scaling

Hi all,
I have a question regarding CygWin/X.

I would like to know if there is a method to scale a window, similar to
what is possible with UltraVNC and its scaling option.

To be more clear, I will explain my setup. I have a Linux server where
run a fixed-resolution application: it's window can't be resized and/or
maximized. When I connect to this Linux server via CygWin and SSH X forwarding, I
can maximize the window (because CygWin start in multiwindow mode and
use it's own window manager), but the majority of the maximized window
is empty (it's white).

This sounds like a bug. Ideally, the Cygwin/X multiwindow mode window manager should also take note of the hint that this window isn't resizable/maximizable and not allow it to be maximized.

Can you provide the output of running 'xprop' and then clicking on this window which shouldn't be resizable, please?
