Installing
The easiet way of installing Application's Fullscreener is by clicking on upper's "Install" button or through its entry in Maemo Downloads.
Features
Application's Fullscreener brings two main tools:
- gtk_fullscreen_process: This application identifies a XWindow ID by its process PID and sends a XKeyEvent which emulates the stroke of the hardware key in the N8x0 devices for un/fullscreening the foreground application.
- g_launch_and_fullscreen: This
application spawns a process by its name and also
a gtk_fullscreen_process which will try to
fullscreen a windows owned by the first process after some
seconds. Also, it will not return until the first process is
dead and will pass the SIGHUP signal when needed to
the first spawn process.
This makes it quite suitable to its usage with a watchdog like dsme.
