Let X11 window open in specific size and position
I installed zathura via homebrew from this github repository. It works well, but the window which zathura creates is an X11 (XQuartz) window which can't be controlled with BetterTouchTool. So I only can manually resize and reposition the window. Instead of installing an additional window manager I'd then just let zathura spawn all it's windows in a certain size and position. I know about the .Xdefaults file in my home directory, but since zathura itself is not an X11 application I can't just write e.g.
zathura*geometry: 1050x750
My question is: How can I manage to let a non-X11 application (in this case zathura) which spawns an X11 window, spawn all windows in a certain size and position by default?
Versions:
- OS: OS X 10.11.6
- Homebrew 1.3.2-62-gdce8938
- zathura 0.3.7
x11 osx zathura
