Xming X11 server and fullscreen mode
in [TCL]
|
From: Luc Moulinier on 2 Jun 2010 11:16 Hello ! I'm working under windows XP, using Xming as a X11 server. I'm trying to maximize a toplevel window through wm attributes .t - fullscreen 1 but nothing happens ... I tried a simple example : toplevel .t pack [label .t.l -text "Hello !" -bg cyan] focus .t wm attributes .t -fullscreen 1 does not change the window aspect ... What am I missing here ? Or is it something related with Xming ? ( Many thanks in advance ! Luc

Also, if there is an Unix machine on your LAN, try setting DISPLAY (or whatever is used on windows for X clients) to it, after an 'xhost +' on the other side. Does the fullscreen code work ? -Alex

Or is it something related with Xming ? ( Under X11, the wm -fullscreen, -zoomed, -topmost, and other attributes require cooperation from the window manager to work. Most likely cause is that your window manager is not EWMH-aware, or possibly that you don't have a window manager at all. I'm not familiar with Xming, but from a quick scan of the manual [1] it probably also depends on the Xming mode (one window / nodecoration / multiwindow / etc.) --Joe English [1] http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/manual.php

Hello ! I find a working example ! set win .toto toplevel $win pack [label $win.l -text "he ho,\nLe soleil brille \nbrille brille" - bg cyan] -expand 1 -fill both set Oldw [winfo width $win] set Oldh [winfo height $win] set sh [winfo screenheight $win] set sw [winfo screenwidth $win] wm minsize $win $sw $sh wm maxsize $win $sw $sh wm overrideredirect $win 1 wm attributes $win -fullscreen 1 If you remove the "wm maxsize" statement, it doesn't work anymore. Is this "normal" ? We should supply the maximum screen size available for expansion ? Thanks for enlighting me !! Luc |
