    i tried this with the gedit About window, which isn't resizeable too, and it didn't worked maybe it's not possible to do this without a resource hacker. Commented Apr 13, 2012 at 8:27
  • Thanks for this tip, @PierreGeier - will give this a try and report back - cheers! Commented Apr 13, 2012 at 10:48
  • Ok, as first - the alt+middle button doesn't work on the Skype video window; if you actually right-click that window's top bar, it is visible that the "Resize (Alt+F8)" option is disabled/greyed out - probably that's why.. So that trick will not work here (but thanks for the tip anyways)... Commented Apr 13, 2012 at 12:21
  • Ok, checked with wmctrl - that doesn't work either; first problem is that the name of the video call window isn't constant, as it contains the duration of the call (e.g. "04:12 | call with userX") - so I used wmctrl -l to obtain ID's; and then wmctrl -r -i 0x000... -e - but nothing seems to happen.. Thanks anyways, @PierreGeier - cheers! Commented Apr 13, 2012 at 12:44

    You're welcome, btw wmctrl doesn't need the full Windowtitle wctrl -r "call with somedude" ... would work too if the window would be resizable. Commented Apr 13, 2012 at 14:13
