AI-generated from the code · Odoo 20.0

Adds a maximize/restore button to every dialog window in Odoo, letting users expand a pop-up to full screen width and switch it back to its normal size. The chosen state is remembered in the browser and can be forced by default through a system setting.

This module changes how pop-up windows (dialogs) look and behave across the whole Odoo web interface. A new button appears in the upper-right corner of each dialog, next to the close button, showing a fullscreen icon to expand the dialog and an exit-fullscreen icon to restore it.

  • Clicking the button toggles the dialog between its normal size and a full-screen width layout.
  • The choice is saved in the user's browser, so the next dialogs open in the same state.
  • A system setting (web_dialog_size.default_maximize) can define the default state for users who have not chosen one yet; when an administrator changes it, users who never picked a size follow the new default.
  • The button is added to standard dialogs, action dialogs and selection/creation dialogs, so it is available in most pop-up screens.
  • After resizing, the window is refreshed so content inside the dialog re-lays out correctly.

The module extends the ir.config_parameter model only to read that default setting. It does not add menus, reports, emails or scheduled jobs; it is a purely visual convenience for the web client.
