Issue 410 in xmonad: Real fullscreen support without floating

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 410 by demelier.david: Real fullscreen support without floating http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=410 The mplayer fullscreen bug is a quite famous right now. Some people use NoBorders as workaround, but the window is still moveable. I mean real fullscreen as the window can't be moved by the user and of course won't have any borders without any workaround. This applies for mplayer's fullscreen mode, not for SDL.

Comment #1 on issue 410 by vogt.adam: Real fullscreen support without floating http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=410 Can you describe your problems with the way XMonad.Layout.NoBorders works currently for floating windows? Regarding such windows being still moveable, you can add a check in the mouse keybindings to do nothing if the window has given properties (as you check to determine whether a window should be floating). It may be necessary to cache the properties for the given window while it is being dragged.

Comment #2 on issue 410 by hramr...@gmail.com: Real fullscreen support without floating http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=410 For me fullscreen works fine with only one screen because then I get no borders and the window is the expected size but on multi-screen I always get borders, even in mono layout.

Updates: Status: Fixed Comment #3 on issue 410 by wirtwo...@gmail.com: Real fullscreen support without floating http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=410 In 0.10 XMonad.Layout.Fullscreen.fullscreenFull provides a non-floating fullscreen implementation. Dragging the window will still float it as it would any window. That seems unlikely to be problematic for most users. XMonad.Layout.NoBorders.lessBorders allows more choices for when borders are drawn than in past releases, including making these windows borderless with multiple monitors. Closing for now. Please re-open if there are use-cases not addressed by the current contrib offerings. If ignoring certain events for fullscreened windows is important please open a new issue.
