Maya's starting window size...?
Does anyone know why maya is set to open at 1280x1024...regardless of your screen resolution?
If you have never used maya in a greater 1280x1024 then you'll have no idea why it is troublesome. Me personally i love working in 1600x1200 and so maya always opened at 1280x1024...which is pretty small on my resolution....so everytime i have to maximize it which is really a pain...ok well maybe it's just a pet peeve but i cant stand it. Luckily today i went searching through maya's preference mels and saw that it was programmed to open that way, but was easy to put in my res (so now it opens maximized yay :)) but seiriously why can't the fine folks over at Alias have it just detect your screen resolution and open maximized? Do they really think everyperson that uses maya is using a resolution less than or equal to 1280x1024? Anyways...i guess what i am wondering is if anyone knows a fix to make it autodetect?...or maybe someone could ya know...pass this along to Alias (I can dream can't I? :D) |
Mine was set to 1254x940 leaving room for the start bar and MS Office shortcut bar - even though it's not installed. It's annoying coz I have to maximise each time. Thanks for your tip on the MEL though, it now opens at a better size. :)

Couldn't you also edit the shortcut to open Maya maximized? That's how I have it setup on my windows box.
|
O? What command do you use in the shortcut to do that?
|
Right-click on the shortcut and then choose Properties. Change the Run option from Normal Window to Maximized.
|
Well it works...and at the same time it doesn't. It doesn't work in that if i launch maya through any other means, ie a project file or through my quick Quick Launch bar, that setting doesn't apply any longer, only through the shortcut on the desktop. So i guess for the time being doing both fixes the problem for good :)

A PAIN!!!!!! to maximize a window??? :rolleyes:
just open Maya and press the alt key + spacebar, then press the "X" key, you can also get rid of the title bar if you like..... hope it helps errr........ you're using windows right?? :confused: .rib |
