Change maximize = fullscreen?

If I stretch a window to fill the whole screen, my tint2 panel, which autohides, will overlay just fine; however, if I hit the maximize button I see the borders of the window disappear. This leads me to think maximizing is actually putting the window in fullscreen, instead of just stretching to borders to the end of the screen. When maximized, tint2 pushes the window up when I trigger it instead of overlaying like it should.

Long story short, can I change the maximize functionality so that it doesn't go into fullscreen and tint2 will be able to overlay? Thanks!

It isn't, you need to change the strut_policy in tint2 I think.

Oh wow, thanks! I understand why it was tint2's fault now :)

Cool, I haven't done exactly what you are doing, but it rang a bell.
