Re: Force Fullscreen for All Apps
 

An infinite while loop that uses wmctrl to force applications into fullscreen. I would seriously not recommend using that (is wmctrl even available for hildon?), because that should pretty much peg the cpu at 100%...A hack to hildon-desktop would be much better.

Anyone good at reverse engineering stuff? (hildon-desktop is closed source, isn't it?).

Re: Force Fullscreen for All Apps
 

Weirdly enough, I understand all that you've said and I cannot develop a lick for this platform.

Question: would modifying hildon-desktop also get rid of the app sidebar on the homescreen, or would there be some specific applicaiton-window-control-mechanism that would control this for all applications? Sort of some kind of "full-screen on launch" bit that would be touched?

Re: Force Fullscreen for All Apps
 

I'm not familiar at all with hildon-desktop and what can be done with it. I think your best bet would be to ask one of the Mer guys (Stskeeps, etc.) because they've already been hacking it. In fact, Mer now completely got rid of the sidebar in its latest release.

devilspie is an application that could do that on a Linux desktop. I think it shouldn't be too hard to port it over to maemo. It doesn't require much.

http://repository.maemo.org/pool/dia...ildon-desktop/

But considering that Matchbox is the window manager, you'd wanna hack http://repository.maemo.org/pool/dia...indow-manager/ instead.

Well, I didn't either with the "Way to kill a battery"... But, yes, wmctrl is available on Maemo.

Wow, devilspie is powerful stuff. "echo '(fullscreen)' > ~/.devilspie/fullscreen.ds" and every window was forced into submission! (On a desktop, libwnck is a little tricky to compile for diablo unless you opt for a really old version)

Re: Force Fullscreen for All Apps
 

Pretty simple:

Add Ubuntu repository and install xbindkeys and wmctrl.

Then do like qole said here:

add
to your /home/user/.xbindkeysrc

Then you can add Personal Menu item for xbindkeys or just run it from terminal. After running xbindkeys, either as user or as root, you will be able to fullscreen any app :)

Re: Force Fullscreen for All Apps
 

Seems about right; but this seems like more of a "make any app full-screened" rather than a "by defualt make all apps full screen."

Unless there's something I'm missing in your instructions and Qole's post???

Re: Force Fullscreen for All Apps
 

Whops, yes you are correct. :D I didn't read the first post good enogh :o

Re: Force Fullscreen for All Apps
 

Good Idea : implemented in phonelink 1.4.1

Re: Force Fullscreen for All Apps
 

Am I to assume that this would be something that cannot be implemented on a global basis then?

Kinda sucks if that's the case; really would make using some apps a lot easier if they just remembered full-screen or not ya know.
