I also had this issue with my dual monitor setup in both Ubuntu and
Linux Mint and was able to fix it with a quick code edit in the main
guake.py file. I figured I would post it here to help out anyone who may
be having this issue until the devs implement a way to manipulate the
width the 'Preferences' GUI.
In the meantime this should work nicely and like I said will only take a
minute of your time to accomplish. The version I am using is 0.4.2 so
the line numbers and exact location of the function may be different for
you. A quick grep or search in a text editor should take you right to it
though. Anyway open up your local copy of guake at
/usr/lib/guake/guake.py in your favorite text editor and find this
function (lines 810-836 for me):
def get_final_window_rect(self):
"""Gets the final size of the main window of guake. The height
is the window_height property, width is window_width and the
horizontal alignment is given by window_alignment.
"""
screen = self.window.get_screen()
height = self.client.get_int(KEY('/general/window_height'))
width = 80
halignment = self.client.get_int(KEY('/general/window_halignment'))
The function is actually a bit larger but I've truncated it here to save
space. At any rate the string we want is 'width= 100' and as you can see
I have changed mine to 'width = 80'. I picked 80 as an arbitrary number
because I figured that it would be about right percentage wise and
indeed it perfectly trimmed guake to fill the left monitor's space
without bleeding over onto the left monitor. Of course you may have to
tinker with the percentage a bit to get it right but it should work
nicely.
Hope this helps.
