Adding the tab here was a nice touch, though.

Re: MX Help -- look up at the tabs!
While looking through the MX-Docs, I came across this anomaly:
However, in All Configuration > Configuration > Work Areas, I can adjust those margens, and using 10 in the margens there's not much effect. Using 100 in all 4 margens does make a difference.
[Don't complain about the mixed up posting. This is the third time I've written it.
First time the lights went off.
Second time I posted but the internet went off while posting.
When it came back on, seems that nothing was posted.
So here I am again, to clarify.]
Please change, "If you want maximized windows to not cover the entire screen, RC the Panel > Panel > Panel Preferences to set workspace margins."
to
"If you want maximized windows to not cover the entire screen, open the Settings panel from the menu, choose Work Areas > Margens, to set workspace margins."
However, in Settings > Work Areas, I can adjust those margins, and using 10 in the margins there's not much effect, but using 100 in all 4 margins does make a difference.
[Please move this to the MX-Documentation thread (started in the middle
and please change margen to margin,
and Configuration to Settings. . . . . . ]
All the best.

Not sure any more: it has been many months since I wrote that--will test again.
...and many thanks for the close reading!

Doesn't matter: I have it on my ToDo list and will make the change next time I work on the documentation.
Thanks again.

Re: MX Help -- look up at the tabs!
This doesn't only affect maximised windows - it also affects newly opened windows. I have a left margin setting of 45 which gives a small gap between the panel and the left edge of all windows. The setting doesn't prevent moving the window into this gap, but the effect of moving a maximised window is variable and seems unpredictable, although it seems to be consistent for a particular application.Richard wrote:"If you want maximized windows to not cover the entire screen, open the Settings panel from the menu, choose Work Areas > Margins, to set workspace margins."

Re: MX Help -- look up at the tabs!
Yes, I noticed some strangeness when moving a window about.
Seemed like it interferred with the No-Tiling effect.
I finally just rolled them all back to 0 margins.
Haven't ever really used it before, except when the default was 2 or 4 or something.
