    well i just installed beryl, and i am really impressed... this is amazing, i dont know what took me so long to install it, but thats beside the point..

    only one problem with it so far, i was cruising through the options, and i didnt notice anything that would solve this problem

    if i have a smaller window, and i double click on the bar at the top the window will minimize into itself like it should, but when i double click the bar again, that point where the bar was, is now the center of the window and if it was close enough to the top of the screen the top bar thing will be above the panel at the top of my screen.. i hope i explained that well. but i was just wondering if there was a way to fix that

    anything else cool i been missing?!?!

    Go into Beryl Settings and click on Window Management.

    Now did you uncheck anything on the left pane? If you did then thats most likely why.

    Maybe this is what you are looking for. Open up the Beryl Settings manager and go to "Window Management" -> "Put" . Look under the Misc options for "Avoid Offscreen" and check the box. Hope this helps.

    Edit" Oh yea, I just noticed that you did not have "Put" checked, so go ahead and check it now.

    I had the exact same problem like a few minutes before you posted. So after I checked some of those boxes it fixed the problem.
