Limit window size when maximizing in Xfce

Question

I have a window that is marked 'always on top'. I want to be able to maximize another window and it have not hide behind the always on top window.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

You may be looking for the desktop margins setting. For example, I set a margin¹ so that my conky is always visible and not covered by maximized windows. You could do the same as long as you always place your always-on-top along the edge of the screen.

^{1 I don't actually use xfwm but the margin concept is the same.}
