Re: [pygame] how do I maximize the window?

[inhahe <inhahe@xxxxxxxxx>]

hmm, I'm having a problem with this.  when i maximize, the title bar
goes into the right place, etc., but the actual viewing space is a
little too far up.  it stops, with no border, a few pixels above the
taskbar, and starts a few pixels above the title bar but behind it so
stuff is covered up by the title bar.  is there any solution to this?
