Previously, TLW geometry was implicitly defined as just its position, size and the maximized/iconized state by wxPersistentTLW code. This already wasn't enough for wxGTK which added the decoration sizes to the geometry being saved/restored, but this had to be done using conditional compilation, which was not ideal. And it didn't allow using an entirely different geometry representation as will be done for wxMSW soon. Change the code to use wxTLWGeometry class defining the geometry, as used by the current port, explicitly and move wxPersistentTLW logic into it, as wxPersistentXXX classes are supposed to be very simple, which wasn't really the case. Also provide public SaveGeometry() and RestoreToGeometry() methods in wxTopLevelWindow, which can be useful even to people not using wxPersistentTLW for whatever reason. There should be no changes in behaviour so far.
About
wxWidgets is a free and open source cross-platform C++ framework for writing advanced GUI applications using native controls.
wxWidgets allows you to write native-looking GUI applications for all the major desktop platforms and also helps with abstracting the differences in the non-GUI aspects between them. It is free for the use in both open source and commercial applications, comes with the full, easy to read and modify, source and extensive documentation and a collection of more than a hundred examples. You can learn more about wxWidgets at https://www.wxwidgets.org/ and read its documentation online at http://docs.wxwidgets.org/
Platforms
wxWidgets currently supports the following primary platforms:
- Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10 (32/64 bits).
- Most Unix variants using the GTK+ toolkit (version 2.6 or newer or 3.x).
- OS X (10.7 or newer) using Cocoa (32/64 bits).
Most popular C++ compilers are supported including but not limited to:
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2003 or later (up to 2017).
- g++ 3.4 or later, including MinGW/MinGW-64/TDM under Windows.
- Clang under OS X and Linux.

- Oracle (ex-Sun) aCC.
Licence
wxWidgets licence is a modified version of LGPL explicitly allowing not distributing the sources of an application using the library even in the case of static linking.
