[dev] [st] Full screen without menu bar?
Hi -- is it possible to get st to run full screen without the menu bar? Like when I press F11 when I'm running gnome-terminal. (I'm running Linux Mint, btw.) Thanks, Doug.
Re: [dev] [st] Full screen without menu bar?
I'd have to figure out how to code that patch, first! :) I totally see the sense in keeping the concerns separated between an app and a window manager. However, everything I've tried so far hasn't enabled me to run st in full-screen mode, so it's looking like the window manager doesn't enable full screen without the app enabling it. Thanks for your considered response, Doug.

I shall have a play with that after work, thankyou!

Re: [dev] [st] Full screen without menu bar?
Hi -- I tried applying the patch in the simplest way (from some instructions I googled up), but it didn't know what file to apply the patch to. I suspect I'm operating with rather incomplete knowledge! Could you advise me on how to apply the patch to the st project? (Does it maybe need to be done in a broader context of a suckless project?) Oh, and I couldn't find any mention of resizehints in the code to set to false, so I think I've misunderstood there, too. Thanks, and sorry to be spamming with all these questions. Doug.

Fair enough, cheers for the help so far.

Okay, cheers man -- I'll get back to this when I have some more time to read up fully on the project and how it all hangs together. Thanks again, Doug.

Re: [dev] [st] Full screen without menu bar?
Ah, so the patch is for an earlier commit? Which maybe explains why my attempt failed by not finding the file to patch. Although I rather suspect the patch is for the window system which then needs to be compiled with st. However, I appreciate that people on this list are pretty busy -- in fact I understand all too well! :) Which is why I'm putting this on a back burner until I have the time to investigate the suckless site and links fully. Until I have all the proper context, I'd just end up spamming the mailing list for step-by-step instructions. Thanks for your response, though, that gives me another angle of attack when I come back to this (which I will). Cheers, Doug.
