Allow hiding standard window decorations and window frame #236

It can look nice without rectangular window frame and decorations (close button and such). I.e. like a screen widget that would have borders that are exactly the curved "screen" borders.

You can show it without the display frame and on full-screen. "Fullscreen" and "Show Menubar" on the "View" menu and the "Frame" option under the "Screen" tab from the Preferences dialog.

What I mean is not in fullscreen and only display frame (without standard window border and buttons), i.e. hiding standard window decorations.

Got it. You want to use the monitor bezel as the window border/decorations.

shmerl commented 9 years ago

In KDE one can force windows to have no decorations, which kind of achieves some of that, but there still remains the rectangular background area around the monitor bezel. If that could be set to transparent, it would achieve the desired effect (indirectly).
