How to launch an application maximized

Hi Everyone!

I’ve always just ‘put up with’ a situation, whereas my LibreOffice applications start up with the size of a thumbnail! I’ve searched but couldn’t find anything here and I’m wondering: how do I set them to start up maximized? These are persistent app qubes btw…

As always, thanks so much for your help, comments, and advice - greatly appreciated!

Plz. look deeper - there are tons of topics on this issue, which is open since several years. It’s possible to use a workaround, but (from what I remember) it’s difficult to set it up (instead of living with it).

Solved - LibreOffice window being really small when started | The FreeBSD Forums

Enabling Skia rendering made my LibreOffice windows open normally.

In LibreOffice, Tools > Options > LibreOffice > View

Enable “Use Skia for all rendering” and “Force Skia software rendering”

I’m afraid, most of the users don’t have these option available in their office options. This is, what I see:

I can’t find it too, but I think the setting must have been renamed? Search for “skia” in the top right search bar filters all choices but LibreOffice → View :thinking:

Try deselecting “Use hardware acceleration” in the same menu.

Even it remembers this setting (after VM restart) the deselecting of hw acce… don’t take any effect.

Same with deselecting “Use anti-aliasing” and “Screen font antialiasing”
