Netflix Desktop

Option to not open in fullscreen

Asked by Viper474

Is there a setting I could change so that the window will not open in fullscreen every time? I've only got the one monitor and would to prefer to be able to do other things on my computer at the same time. I have volume buttons mapped to F11 and F12, so that makes exiting fullscreen more difficult. If there is an option I could change to set it to open in the un-maximized size, that would be my preference. Thank you.

You can launch the application like this:
netflix-desktop --windowed

Does that help?

any way to set this so the shortcut on the unity bar opens it windowed since when it opens full screen it goes to to my left screen which is not my primary screen. or a way to force it to open on the primary (right) screen?

Just edit the launcher as the administrator:
sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/netflix-desktop.desktop
by changing the line that reads:
Exec=netflix-desktop
to read:
Exec=netflix-desktop --windowed

No problem, when I get a chance I'll probably change it to remember the way you launched it last.
