confused   Use all screen realstate in scrolling window manager
Im using Arch Linux with Niri scrolling window manager
in this manager all windows spawn using half the screen
the thing is that when i maximize sweethome3d window
the actual usable realstate stays in half
is there a way to have it use the full mazimize space?
i attach video for visual explanation
Video Of My Trouble

thank you for your time

Re: Use all screen realstate in scrolling window manager
The program fails to calculate the real size available, most likely because it fails to recognize the dpi, perhaps on a high dpi display. There is a custom setting which allows to override the default scaling, see this post and experiment different values until you get the expected result:

If it doesn't work at all, you may try to reduce the dpi to a standard value.
MS WINDOWS allows to force the dpi to a specific value when a target program is executing (compatibility option), perhaps you can achieve the same on Linux (using some additional software?).
