Well, in my current window manager (I think it is kdm but I'm not sure) when I hit F11 (or when I use the menuitem View→Full Screen) in a maximized SeaMonkey (which still has a titlebar, a menubar and a statusbar) it becomes even bigger, taking up the whole screen, even covering the clock topbar, the virtual desktops sidebar and the applications footer bar normally provided by the window manager (or something) and which "normally" maximized windows reach but don't cover. (In that mode I can still change virtual desktops by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Up, Ctrl-Alt-Down, or Ctrl-F1 to Ctrl-F8.) At the same time the window decorations (titlebar etc.) disappear, and the whole browser chrome becomes reduced to just a URL bar with a few buttons at its right end to go back to normal operation. Menu bar, toolbars, etc. disappear but the tab bar is still shown. This browser is compiled with GTK3 GUI (its configure settings include --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk3 as shown on its about:buildconfig page). So it is possible to program it, at least in a GTK3 program in this particular window manager. I won't bet about other GUIs and/or other WMs. I still have no idea about the quantity of programming necessary to make such a capability available in as many as possible of the GUIs I mentioned in my previous post (when running in a WM that can do it). I expect it to be a huge lot of work but I would be happy to be proved false in this matter. Best regards, Tony. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
