Hello everyone!

I'm a beginner of GTK+ Development. I want my application run like this:

when it opens, the window's width is set to 1024, and its height will be set
to the current available max height size. It's not the size of resolution of
current screen. Just the maximize window's height, the size not include the
two gnome-panel below and above, sometimes is a dock(awn or kiba-dock).

I tried several method, but failed.

Anyone can give me an idea?
Thank you very much.

You're going to want to do some reading up on how Windows are sized and GTK+ basics. Most people will tell you not to do what you're asking to do--that it goes against some principles of usability. Allow the end user to decide what size the window is best for them and then remember that size next time your application loads.

In any case, check out:
gtk_window_set_default_size ()
gtk_widget_set_size_request ()
gtk_window_maximize ()

Thank you! :D

I think I should read more about API.
