Hey,

I've searched the forum but I couldn't find code that provided the ability to limit the size of a maximised window. My goal is to create some sort of sidebar, meaning a bar on the left or right of your screen, as tall as your screen, but the most important thing is that when you maximize a window it must 'adapt' itself to the sidebar!
What I mean is the same the taskbar does: windows never get larger than a certain area of the screen (from the top of the screen to the top of the taskbar), so windows never overlay the taskbar. When I try resizing a window I can also not go lower than the top of the taskbar.

Is there any way I can change this area directly?

P.S. I found Rajat's Desktop Sidebar, but it either did not work correctly on my pc or it was not suited for my needs. In all cases, it did not provide the ability to do the trick I described above. And I did not feel like posting in a two year old topic... it felt like digging up a grave of someone burried two years ago!

If the result of +AlwaysOnTop not good enough, probably not have any solution yet. At least, not have similar program install at the moment ...
However, if it would be for personal use, try detecting the click on Maximize. Instead of Maximize, the script should save the previous size of that window, resize it to the size should be used, and recognize it as maximized ~

To users searching the forum:
I found a program that does exactly this: Desktop Coral.
