Evince (GTK3?) doesn't actually run fullscreen - has a big border

simendsjo · 2014-10-23 07:55:37

Evince (and perhaps other applications) doesn't fill it's available space. There's an big transparent border around the content that I don't know how to get rid of.

This must have been because of a very recent upgrade, but I don't know which one.

Both my ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini has gtk-theme-name="ClearLooks" (and 3.0 without quotes).

See http://imgur.com/sbHOTOk

Any idea how I can fix this?

~/.gtkrc-2.0:

# DO NOT EDIT! This file will be overwritten by LXAppearance.
# Any customization should be done in ~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine instead.

include "/home/simendsjo/.gtkrc-2.0.mine"
gtk-theme-name="Clearlooks"
gtk-icon-theme-name="gnome"
gtk-font-name="Cantarell 11"
gtk-cursor-theme-name="Neutral"
gtk-cursor-theme-size=0
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH
gtk-toolbar-icon-size=GTK_ICON_SIZE_LARGE_TOOLBAR
gtk-button-images=1
gtk-menu-images=1
gtk-enable-event-sounds=1
gtk-enable-input-feedback-sounds=1
gtk-xft-antialias=1
gtk-xft-hinting=1
gtk-xft-hintstyle="hintfull"
gtk-xft-rgba="rgb"

~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

I noticed the same since latest gtk update.
It happens with evince,gedit,file-roller and possibly some more. But not with all gtk apps though.
I'm using xmonad.

I have seen the same problem here for most of the pdf files. But for some other files, the transparent margin gone. Also, the same intermittent phenomenon happens to the toolbar.
Some pdf file will show the toolbar, some don't. In that case, toolbar hides until hitting <c-l> and hides again after pressing <esc>.

I am using i3wm.

Try this is your gtk.css in the theme against the gap:

.window-frame, .window-frame:backdrop {
 box-shadow: 0 0 0 black;
 border-style: none;
 margin: 0;
 border-radius: 0;
}

.titlebar {
 border-radius: 0;
}

You don't have to change your theme. Just create the file ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css with the following content:

.window-frame, .window-frame:backdrop {
 box-shadow: 0 0 0 black;
 border-style: none;
 margin: 0;
 border-radius: 0;
}

.titlebar {
 border-radius: 0;
}

Thanks, that did the trick for me.

Thanks, @progandy. That solves the problem that holds off the evince-3.14.1-2 upgrade.
