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

I think that st does not have a menu bar. What are you referring to? Perhaps you mean the title bar [1]? If you are referring to the title bar or any other window decoration [2], they are drawn by the window manager, so you need to tell the window manager to display full screen. What window

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

Hi, Typically, window decorations are for the window manager to handle. Although applications can help (e.g., by providing shortcuts and special full-screen modes), I think that the separation of concerns (between the roles of the wm and the applications) is considered more suckless. As a result,

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.
