Tuning PIXEL applications to official 7" display?

[karrika]

I am stuck with a 7" official display and PIXEL while my laptop is in service.

Changing keyboard layout dialog when trying to choose Finnish keyboard has the OK/Cancel buttons out of reach on a 7" display.

Is there some project going on for fine-tuning applications to fit the screen?

Another important feature would be to make all apps support F11. Full screen. Some applications like Aisleriot work perfectly for using every pixel while playing Freecell. While other applications like Mahjongg waste 20% of the top of screen for tab's and menus.

As Raspberry Pi has all kind of tiny displays I believe that others may also be interested in tuning the applications so that they run in full screen mode and don't have dialogues that don't fit small screens.

Any pointers where to start?

As a work around you can right click the open window and select move. Then drag it up so you can click the OK button. I have the same issue with my 7 inch Pi foundation screen.

A simple way to do a right click via the touch screen would be nice too. So I wouldn't have to plug in a mouse to drag said screen up. Typing in endless lines of code just to have a right click function doesn't appeal to me.

The oversized window issue has been a problem with Raspbian on the 7" RPF screen ever since launch. Since I'm in the habit of attaching a mouse, there is a way to move windows. IIRC, it's alt-right mouse button and drag. (But don't take my word for that as I tend to forget which combination does it as I don't do it terribly often.)
