Cascade behavior change?

[vince-vanh]

Until a recent update, when I selected the cascade option, I swear the windows being cascaded were roughly about 50-60% of the screen size. After a recent update they're about 90%. Is this configurable? I've looked for a setting, but can't find it. I preferred the smaller window sizes when using a larger monitor.

To switch back to the old cascade, use this Terminal command:

defaults write com.knollsoft.Hookshot cascadeVersion -int 1

Then restart the app.

Hi! There is a way to have this behaviour to be customized? I would like to have an halfway between version 1 and version 2 with a bigger windows and to be centered. Thank you!

It's on my todo list to have separate cascade shortcuts available, and I'll plan on adding another one that includes what you're looking for, or some way to customize the different aspects of the cascading. If there's a centering & larger option, what is your expectation for where the cascaded windows go? Maybe a quick picture would help me understand.

Great! Look, what I'd expect from a centering option is simply to position the area containing the cascading windows in the center of the screen (as the "Almost Maximize" option does, for example), while always taking into account the pixel settings adjusted with the slider for the Stage Manager's recent apps area (a feature I really appreciate!).
