Wmctrl examples/1.0.7 fullscreen issue
From Sy
[edit] Proof that wmctrl usually works
(Blackbox 0.70.1)
1) Start xine windowed
xine dvd://
2) alt-tab back to your term
3) Prove that wmctrl can communicate to xine and fullscreen works:
wmctrl -r "xine" -b toggle,fullscreen
(fullscreen now)
4) alt-tab back to your term (you might need to do it twice)
5) Prove that wmctrl can remove fullscreen:
wmctrl -r "xine" -b toggle,fullscreen
(windowed now)
6) Another proof:
wmctrl -r "xine" -b toggle,fullscreen
(fullscreen now)
wmctrl -r "xine" -b remove,fullscreen
(windowed now)
[edit] Proof of an issue when the app starts fullscreen
1) Start xine fullscreen
xine -f dvd://
2) Now alt-tab back out to your term. You might have to click on the xine window for alt-tab to work.
3) try to remove fullscreen
wmctrl -r "xine" -b remove,fullscreen
This does not do anything.
wmctrl -r "xine" -b toggle,fullscreen
This does not do anything.
