[SOLVED]XFCE - Undecorate windows (borderless)

Hallo,
i want to have a VLC window borderless (undecorated) on XFCE/xfwm4. VLC has an own option '--no-video-deco' but it has no effect. I also tried this (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=192422) but it doesn't work either. 'wmctrl' also doesn't seem to support this function.

Any ideas how to undecorate windows on xfce/xfwm4?

Does "--no-video-deco --no-embedded-video" work?


I possess a device, in my pocket, that is capable of accessing the entirety of information known to man.
I use it to look at funny pictures of cats and to argue with strangers.

Well this works for all windows , though i'm not sure that's what you want.

mkdir -p /usr/share/themes/empty/xfwm4/
touch /usr/share/themes/empty/xfwm4/themerc

Then select empty in Window Manager.

Maybe i can assign this with GTK_THEME= to one window only. Will test it.

You can use devilspie and a vlc.ds file like this:

(if (is (application_name) "VLC media player")
        (begin
                (undecorate)
        )
)

Re: [SOLVED]XFCE - Undecorate windows (borderless)

There are even more severe bugs in VLC that makes it unusable in the end. It doesn't shutdown gracefully (hangs) with '-I dummy' (or cvlc binary) on my system. Tells me stuff about xcb x11 errors, vdpau and whatsoever (when closing!). So i tried mplayer and what can i say... it works out of the box without problems (mplayer -noborder video.mp4).

Thanks!
