Issue 339 in xmonad: Support or workaround for toggling totem movie player fullscreen

Status: WontFix Owner: ---- Labels: Type-Enhancement Component-Contrib Priority-Low New issue 339 by wirtwolff: Support or workaround for toggling totem movie player fullscreen http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=339 From issue 333 comments #4 and #5: I'm running ubuntu 9.04 with xmonad from the repo and facing a similar issue with another player; Movie Player (GNOME). I think the way fullscreen works isn't correct. So far I've only been able to get rid of the red line around the window, but I still see the panel at the top. It's very annoying watching anything with the panel at the top. I need the panel so removing it isn't an option. -- This is in reference to the totem movie player, not the browser plugin gnome mplayer which works well with isFullscreen manageHook query. User had doFloat hook for the player. It is possible to instead doFullFloat the totem player to provide fullscreen without strut windows visible, however still the normal toggle commands don't work. Always full screening totem isn't an ideal solution, though, hence moving that report to this issue separate from the mplayer related Issue 333. I've not been able to find any references as to how totem attempts to request or implement fullscreen. Nor have I found any xmonad settings to support totem's fullscreen toggling. Closing this as won't fix for now. Prioritizing as low since other media players such as mplayer work well with xmonad. Please feel free to re-open with more data as to what totem is looking for from xmonad or patches to provide additional support for totem. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Enabling fullscreen does nothing. In both cases the GNOME panel is visible.

Comment #2 on issue 339 by wirtwolff: Support or workaround for toggling totem movie player fullscreen http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=339 re comment #1 Whichever matches your version of the player, "Totem" or "Totem Movie Player", in that manageHook please use doFullFloat instead of doFloat to have the player cover the status bar. Import XMonad.Hooks.ManageHelpers for doFullFloat. I realize this is not ideal since that means the player is always full screen unless you tile it or change its size with the mouse. However it is the closest I've found to what you want. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Comment #3 on issue 339 by audunskaugen: Support or workaround for toggling totem movie player fullscreen http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=339 Totem toggles fullscreen by sending a ClientMessageEvent that adds or removes _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN to the _NET_WM_STATE property. It should be possible to write an eventHook to handle it. I am currently looking into that. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Ok, I've managed to make totem fullscreen properly using the above-mentioned approach!
I've attached a minimal xmonad.hs that should illustrate how it's done.
For convenience here's adunskaugen's totemFullscreen file for those who'd otherwise have to grab it from the tracker. -- wmw
