Title: Suppress title bar in full screen application
Post by: Daniel on June 17, 2011, 04:20:16 AM

Hi,

My (flash) application is running maximized infull screen locked.

When i'm usinf flashplayer stand alone or firefox with plugin's, i've "adobe flash player 10" or "firefox title" in a title bar (on top screen).

Is it possible to don't have that ?
I succeed with firefox parameters, but the user may move the window, and borders  become visible :(


Thanks
Daniel.

options:

1. run it without a window manager

2. use a browser with more kiosk like functions (e.g. opera)

3. hack flash to become real fullscreen? shouldn't be that hard. ( p.s.: that was a joke :) )

I think this is an X function (option).
Or a TCL custon ?

It is not in Ubuntu ...

Without window manager ... will be tested.
But with differences with the same application with stand alone flash player under ubuntu (and java server for local IP communications) ...

Opera will be tested to!

Thanks
Daniel.

Hi Daniel

The title bar is added to the application by the window manager. If you do not believe that, do a
search on  X programming. There are sites with programming examples that explain this.

Hi Rich,

I know that (gdm ...) but if somebody knows exactly immediately where ...

if not, "google is my friend"  ;)

[Edit]
Perhaps it is a gdm parameter ?

Please search, this has been discussed a lot. In short, you can replace the WM with your app with a bootcode "tinycore desktop=xterm", among many other ways.
