Maximize and undecorate all apps in Xubuntu

  • 772

On my netbook I'm running Xubuntu as it works much faster than Unity 2D. I'd like to have all the apps maximized and undecorated, is there any way to do that without Compiz?

window-manager

    You can go someway towards this with the package maximus available from synaptic/software center

    maximus Install maximus

    The image below shows maximising windows in Xubuntu using maximus.

    enter image description here

    To test, start maximus via

    nohup maximus &

    One issue I found with maximus under XFCE (xubuntu 11.04) - Windows will start maximised but not undecorated - you need to click the maximise button twice.

    Use the Q&A below to add the command line above to your XFCE/Xubuntu startup applications.
