Hi guys,

I'm encountering an issue when using NEWT: if I set the GLWindow size larger than the screen resolution, then the window gets automatically resized to the screen width/height. See this report on how it comes up in Processing:

https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3401

Is there any way to override this behavior, so the GLWindow has the requested size, even though it doesn't fit in the screen?

Andres

Hi Andreas thank you for sharing your use-case and view how you want it to operate: allow the NEWT window to be initialized larger than the screen.

You may want to test the 2.3.2 release candidate from 1 sept 2015 it includes the work of Bug 1186 and 1188 that allows you to set the window non-resizable. 1186 also allows us to specify the flags using a bitfield how we want the NEWT window to behave.

https://jogamp.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1188

Since we have made quite a lot of changes how we handle the state flags on NEWT windows between 2.3.1 and the upcomming 2.3.2 we are very much interested in early feedback before the release.
A comprehensive list of changes can be found here: http://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/SW_Tracking_Report_Objectives_for_the_release_2.3.2

Test build from 1 sept 2015
