Hello, It may have been reported before, but GSender always requires to click the “Maximize” Button (Or Double-Click Title Bar) to be really Full Screen. (Seen with older versions, as well as latest 0.7.4) By Default, the App takes 96% (Or so) of the Screen. I do not hide the Windows Taskbar, so for me FullScreen means all, but the Taskbar area. Both my computer react the same. One uses 1920x1080(Desktop), the other one is 1366x768(Laptop) I have tried changing the Shortcut icon to “RUN MAXIMIZED”, no change aside from the GSender SplashScreen being shown with a black Background and being Maximized, then when the actual App GUI appears, it is still a 96% (or so) of the screen) (not maximized) Any Ideas? ---

@webbit_NJ It opens maximized on my office PC. I’ll check on the shop one and get back to you. ---

@webbit_NJ - I’ve reported it several times. Neither of my computers, design or shop will open maximized even though properties are set to maximized. ---

@webbit_NJ@Heyward43 Strange. It opens maximized on both my office PC at 1080 x 1920 and my shop pc at 1680 x 1050. ---

I see this too. I am running the Win64 bit version. 1440x900 resolution. Every time I run gSender (now version 1.0.1) The program starts in non-maximixed/windowsed mode. It’s always close to the maximum but not quite. It does not remember the last program window size used ever. ---

Add another one for the non full screen, on both laptops. ??? ---

Just went to download 1.0.1 and tested 1.0.0. Windows 10 laptop never maximizes (you can still maximize it further), but is really close. However, if I reduce the window size, it will save that for the next program start. ---

Indeed, I had not tried to Manual STRETCH the Window! Here are my tests result: If i start GSender, and STRETCH to GROW the window to cover the Screen and restart GSender, the Stretched state **IS NOT** remembered… If i start GSender, and STRETCH to SHRINK the window to be smaller than the Screen and restart GSender, the Stretched state **IS** remembered… Hmmmm… was not expecting that… ---
