Simple script to fix my game windows (Linux + X11)

gametile

Overview

This is a simple script that I use to adjust a game window before I play the game. This script does the following:

• Sets STEAM_GAME atom to 1 on a game window.

• Removes fullscreen state, if present.

• Removes WM_HINTS, allowing the game window to be resized.

• Sets _MOTIF_WM_HINTS to no decorations.

• Position and size the window according to parameters provided.

Usage

gametile.xsh x y width height

The script will attempt to autodetect an existing game window. If it cannot do so, it will prompt the user to click on a window and fix that window.

Requirements

• Linux + X11. This script will not work with Wayland.

• Xonsh (Scripting language)

• boxdotool, my xdotool fork :)

• xprop (if you're using X11, you probably have this already).
