There is a possibility to configure application (for me darktable) that start in full screen mode without the title bar (I use GNOME Shell in Ubuntu 11.10)?

This was achieved using devilspie to start darktable maximised, followed by my linked answer to remove the window decoration.

Note - I tried this with the devilspie "undecorate" command but that just left an annoying blank space where the decoration would be

install devilspie

sudo apt-get install devilspie
mkdir ~/.devilspie
nano ~/.devilspie/darktable.ds

copy and paste the following:

  (is (application_name) "darktable")
    (begin
       (maximize)
       (spawn_sync "/home/dad/decoration.py")
       (spawn_sync "/home/dad/decoration.py")
    )

N.B. substitute /home/dad/decoration.py for the full-pathname to the undecorate script. Save.

Finally, make sure devilspie start in your startup-applications.

  • Great! If script run automatically when I launch darktable - will be perfect. I change 'fullscreen' (in darktable.ds) to 'maximaze'.

You use F11 key in darktable to enter/leave fullscreen state, this state is also stored upon exit so next time you start darktable it will be fullscreen as default.

  • Thanks! I didn't know about that. My question may be misleading, but panel need to be visible (I use often workspace indicator)

If you were using Compiz, you could use the window rules plugin, but since you are using Gnome Shell, to my knowledge, there is nothing you can do.
