scrotwm/spectrwm - no border when fullscreen?

FiniteStateMachine · 2012-08-15 23:45:39

Is it possible to have no 'active window' border when using the fullscreen tiling mode?

I find it annoying when watching a movie or other video, as I get a bright border around the screen.

It's also useless in fullscreen mode in general.

Could anyone help me out?

Thanks!

As far as I know, it's not possible. I used to make the window borders black, so I wouldn't notice this, but it's a PITA. I don't get what you mean by watching videos, all the video players work in proper full screen mode if you set the quirks for them.

if "disable_border = 1" doesn't work for you, then I'm afraid not.
As El_k says, most programs should work fine after assigning quirks for them.
I've only experienced that issue with mplayer2, though. Borders disappear like they should in fullscreen mode on mplayer1.

I haven't added any quirks yet, I was just wondering if there was a general way, because when you tile all windows in fullscreen mode (I forget if it has a proper name, but when you only see a single window at a time) -- the border is pretty useless then. So a quirk didn't really fit that usage.

I wouldn't want to just disable the border as its very useful when working with 3+ apps.

Try the quirk, did you try it yet?

I'm not sure what you mean.

VLC doesn't have any problems going into fullscreen without any additional quirks.

Is there a quirk that will get rid of the border? Because if so, I don't know of it.

Thanks!

From the spectrwm man page:

The quirks themselves are described below:
...
FULLSCREEN Remove border to allow window to use full screen size.
...

I used:

quirk[Vlc:vlc]                          = FLOAT

I had no border in VLC's full screen mode.
