Why isn't it possible to add a working maximize button to the engine window with video_window()? Could you add this possiblity?

i would also like to have this possibility.

- a working maximize button
- the possibility to start maximized
- and an easy way (or an example) to adapt the engine resolution to the available window space if the window size changes

With maximized, I suppose you don't mean the fullscreen mode, but a window with the same size of the desktop?

yes!

Mind you, a full-screen button would be nice too... Just more difficult.

there needs to be an event then also, to care for updating
the panels / other stuff to the new screensize

Yes. I'll add a maximize button that will trigger an event, just like the close button. The event can then maximize the window, which is 2 simple lines of lite-C, and adapt the panels, which will be a couple more lines.

i think this event should also trigger when the window size gets changed by dragging the window border? or maybe resizing should trigger a separate event?

will the event get the new available screen size as parameters?

but the start window menu will.. still be showing?

if you have pro you can disable the start window.
