Run any app fullscreen on Nokia N900

<em><a href="Non-Sumou.html">Other Nokia N900 GNU mobile phone tips</a></em></p>

Nokia N900 GNU mobile phone features Hildon, a GTK framework for display, which uses a nasty big top bar, and doesn't allow applications to go fullscreen, which can be quite a problem for some apps, considering the miniscule display of the phone.</p>

To get any app to run fullscreen on Nokia N900:</p> <ul> <li>Install <a href="http://kumatux.org/">kumatux.org</a>;</li> <li>Install <a href="http://kumatux.org/Applications.html">the latest gc for the N900</a>;</li> <li>Install <a href="http://kumatux.org/Applications.html">the latest gmp for the N900</a>;</li> <li>Install <a href="http://kumatux.org/Applications.html">the latest guile for the N900</a>;</li> <li>Install <a href="http://kumatux.org/Applications.html">the latest libunistring for the N900</a>;</li> <li>Install <a href="http://kumatux.org/Applications.html">the latest xbindkeys for the N900</a>;</li> <li>Create <strong>~/.xbindkeysrc</strong> <table bgcolor="#000000" border="1"><tr><td border="0"><font color="#FFFF00"><b>$ echo '"wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b toggle,fullscreen"' > ~/.xbindkeysrc<br /> echo 'shift + KP_Enter' >> ~/.xbindkeysrc</b></td></tr></table></li> <li>Make sure to reboot, or resource <strong>~/.profile</strong> after having linked xbindkeys through <strong><a href="../kumatux.org/index.html">kumatux.org</a>-link</strong>;</li> <li>Start xbindkeys: <table bgcolor="#000000" border="1"><tr><td border="0"><font color="#FFFF00"><b>$ xbindkeys</b></td></tr></table></li> </ul>

Now, pressing Shift+Enter will toggle between fullscreen/nonfullscreen states of any app you're running.
