how to disable snap (top) to maximize window
 
this feature makes me crazy.
I tried MX Tweak / Window Manager / Advanced /uncheck window snapping

but this did not work.

Is there any other way to disable this feature?

Never used mx. In KDE, that's under System Settings->Desktop Behavior->Screen Edges. Which, for this discussion, just means that it's part of normal Desktop Environment settings - not in some external application.

never used *buntu. I know how to use KDE/Plasma. MX Linux default decktop is XFCE.

Thank you anyway.

Try:

Code:

xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/tile_on_move -s false

Nice one. If you consider the thread solved then you can mark it so (see "Thread Tools" at the top of this thread).

works with xubuntu 18.04!
 
Thanks, this has been driving me nuts also! Bumping this to make it easier for others to find. no more maximize when window placed at top of screen:
xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/tile_on_move -s false
