The frame sizing/resizing code seems to have changed between XEmacs-20.4 and XEmacs-21.0. I want to have my toolbar on the left and size 81x56. In XEmacs-20.4, I could use .Xdefaults> Emacs*EmacsFrame.geometry: 81x56--9--1 .Xdefaults> Emacs.topToolBarHeight: 0 .Xdefaults> Emacs.bottomToolBarHeight: 0 .Xdefaults> Emacs.leftToolBarWidth: 40 .Xdefaults> Emacs.rightToolBarWidth: 0 .emacs> (set-default-toolbar-position 'left) .emacs> ;; must be set in .Xdefaults: .emacs> ;;(set-specifier top-toolbar-height 0) .emacs> ;;(set-specifier bottom-toolbar-height 0) .emacs> ;;(set-specifier left-toolbar-width 40) .emacs> ;;(set-specifier right-toolbar-width 0) In XEmacs-21.0, the same code (the last four lines in .Xdefaults doesn't matter anymore) gives me a XEmacs of size 77x56 which is shifted up. Resizing it to 85x56 finally gives me an XEmacs of size 81x56. Is there a more direct way, e.g., toolbar position by ~/.Xdefaults? Thanks for any hints, - Christoph
