X apps run on native touch Xorg.

[silver18]

Here it is the screenshot! Sorry for the delay.
I would like to remove the black bar on the top.
The app running is just a waf. I managed to remove the search bar but not this bar.
I tried editing the config.xml file at this point:
viewmodes="application">
but nothing happens.

Any clue?
Thank a lot!!!

Sorry to bother, but is there any news?

I'm sorry, but I don't know the answer right now. At the moment I'm busy with hacking something else than GUI. I belive it should be possible but can't tell you how to do it. I will let you know as soon as I get a chance to find out.

Thanks a lot!
I run the xwininfo -tree -root command while displaying the Kindle Home Screen and then while reading a book with the mobi reader.
All I found is that the titlebar is hidden under the blankBackground_WS while reading.

Is there a way to send that command??

Here are two screenshots, one with the titlebar visible and the other with the title bar hidden!

[silver18]

Do you think the

PHP Code:

awful.titlebar.remove(c, { modkey = modkey }) 


could work?
I'm in desperate need of removing the f**ing titlebar.

I noticed that you can a fullscreen window when putting the window on the dialog layer. E.g. xev -name L:D_N:application_ID:someapp -geometry 600x800+0+0

But I don't know if you can use that in a waf and how you would do it.

[silver18]

First of all, thanks a lot!
I thought about going on dialog layer...
As I call the waf using a shell script, is it possible doing it in the shell script?
I use

PHP Code:

lipc-set-prop com.lab126.appmgrd start app://com.erez.fullgallery001 


where com.erez.fullgallery001 is the waf name...

Yes it is (As any other waf application). But before that you have to register it. Run this in a shell script before that:

sqlite3 /var/local/appreg.db "INSERT INTO handlerIds VALUES ('com.erez.fullgallery001')"
sqlite3 /var/local/appreg.db "INSERT INTO properties (handlerId, name, value) VALUES ('com.erez.fullgallery001','command','/usr/bin/wafapp -l com.fsck.todos -c /mnt/us/extension/fullgallery001/')"
sqlite3 /var/local/appreg.db "INSERT INTO properties (handlerId, name, value) VALUES ('com.erez.fullgallery001','unloadPolicy','unloadOnPause');"

I'm so dumb that I explained the problem in the wrong way.
I used that script to install the waf!

The point, now, is to make the waf run in fullscreen mode.

I tried this code:

PHP Code:

xev -name L:D_N:application_ID:someapp -geometry 600x800+0+0 


using the app name: com.erez.fullgallery001
All I get is a full blank screen with a black square on the top left angle.

Here is the waf details:

I've been trying to figure out what you can set in the config.xml that would override the window settings, but didn't find anything relevant. I am not sure if with the level of control you have it is possible.

Although one hack comes to mind. I don't know whether you can put an underscore into the app. name. If yes you may try to name your application com.erez.fullgallery001_PC:N to propagate the PC:N key:value pair into the window title.

[silver18]

Thanks a lot!
I'll give it a go as soon as I'll get my Kindle back.

If PC:N titlebar behaves like a chrome (e.g. hides when chrome hides). (TODO: find out when chrome hides and if it's of any use)

As for this TODO -- it seems that pillow hides it's chrome windows automaticaly when the framework window looses focus. This means that we don't have to worry about it at all.

I tried this workaround but it didn't work!
I still think the only way to remove the bar is to hide it under the blankbackground but I don't know how to do it!

As I have said, I don't know if you can do that with your level of control. The waf apps will have to rely on some external tool to do that. But I don't know if we can talk directly to awsome (e.g. with lua code).

Can you tell me what is the window name of your application if you try the hack I have proposed?

[silver18]

I get this using the xwininfo -tree -root command:

PHP Code:

L:A_N:application_ID:com.erez.fullgallery001_PC:N 


As regards the level of control, isn't it possible to add the command to hide the status bar in the shell script that I use to run the application
I.e. before

PHP Code:

lipc-set-prop com.lab126.appmgrd start app://com.erez.fullgallery001
