Doesn't that mean that there's no way to tell if window dimensions have actually changed without constantly polling for them, by extension making love.resize completely pointless since it doesn't detect window resize? This gotta be a bug.

I'm (or was at least) pretty sure that [wiki]love.window.maximize[/wiki] calls [wiki]love.resize[/wiki] if it succeeds. Since it resizes the window to it's maximized state, it is basically pressing the "maximize" button programmatically, which does trigger love.resize.

What doesn't call love.resize is a successful [wiki]love.window.setMode[/wiki] which is entirely different from love.window.maximize

I see that event doesn't trigger if programmatical resize succeeds since you already would know proper dimensions, but I really think that it should trigger anyway - to execute code related to window resizing.

Okay, my bad, though imo the wiki wording could be a bit more straightforward.

Well it says

So yeah I don't think that includes love.window.maximize which

I don't think the wording is wrong or something

Anyway I didn't understand what VectorNormal meant with

VectorNormal wrote: when in windowed mode if you maximize the screen, the reported size of the window does not change. This is because resizing and maximizing are completely separate concepts

I think that VectorNormal's complaint is that love.graphics.getDimensions() doesn't return the new size immediately after calling love.window.maximize. However, note that it does in love.resize: This prints in my case: (with an appropriate conf.lua that includes setting c.window.resizable = true)

Can you make a post on the issue tracker about that? So I don't forget.

Thank you very much Pgimeno! There was a point where I was certain I'd tried this and love.resize() never got called. Maybe I've been working too hard. I'll have to fiddle around a little bit more to see if I can figure out the other order of events that fail to trigger it. But you got it and it's working in my display/window managers (light DM and LXDM) wooo!
Lots of really great info in this thread, thanks everyone!

Looks like in the next version that problem won't happen https://bitbucket.org/rude/love/issues/ ... rt-changed

Thanks, slime.
