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.
Rules for problems.
Everyone has problems. Animals have problems. And buildings. And cats, and trees.
Problems are your friends. Treat them well.

No, doesn't work.
Well this works for all windows
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)
)
)

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!
