Re: Full-Screen-Application possible with GTK

["Gregor Waltz" <gregor waltz villanova edu>]

actually, i was confused by the message.

if you want a gtk app without X, check out gtkfb (from gtk.org)
http://people.redhat.com/sopwith/gtkfb/
and the ggi project.

else if you want to write an X proggy that has no window manager bars or
borders, check out xmms (xmms.org).

it also sounds like you want to make a gtk app take up the whole screen
as in the windows standard mdi/mdl or whatever the acronym is :P blender
does this, but it's gui is written in glut and is closed source anyway.
maybe you could query the root window size and set your main window to
that size. any borders would be off the screen if the window was
centered properly.
