Set more than one window to always maximize

[Томица]

I'm trying to set a couple of my apps (terminal and update manager) to always launch maximized. I'm doing it through CCSM > Window Management > Window Rules > Maximized. Now, it's working okay if I put in only one window there, but if I try to add another, the setting is lost for both. For example, this works fine:



But this doesn't:



I'm using the 20.04b1, don't know if that matters.

I believe that ccsm interprets "&" as AND, meaning a window would have to meet both criteria to be maximized. No window is named both "gnome-terminal" and "update-manager."

Try substituting "|" instead of "&." I'm pretty sure ccsm reads "|" as OR.

i.e.,

name=gnome-terminal | name=update-manager

Hope that helps.

just hit the 'add' or '+' or w/e on the side, it will set the syntax for you

That's exactly how I was doing it. CCSM adds & when you use the + button.

In any case gldearman's advice worked. Thanks a lot! This setting maximizes both Terminal and Update Manager:

name=gnome-terminal | name=update-manager
