Fullscreen in window only
A config option to force all apps on workspace to go fullscreen inside the window. Then the user will decided which app their want to really fullscreen. I only see option to rule specific app to use fullscreen.
Example is this youtube fullscreen.
He might have meant fakefullscreen type of thing, idk.
It's like fullscreen 0, the app goes full screen mode (e.g. chromium will hide tabs etc), but it is contained within its own window and the window itself doesn't go full screen. You can then switch to monocle layout (actual full screen regardless of app's state, like fullscreen 1), if you want, but those are 2 separate actions.
i currently achieve this with youtube for example by opening the youtube vid in regular fullscreen mode then move it to another workspace that has applications currently in it and it works fine and keeps the youtube video in fakefullscreen or whatever you want to call it
@jiiiijiij I opened an issue with the same wish before (which was rejected). Your browser might have the option to limit fullscreen to the browser window. I use qutebrowser the option there is called "content.fullscreen.window". For chrome the add-on fullscreen-anything might help. @vaxerski I still think this would be a nice addition to hyprland.
I really like this suggestion and I think it improves productiveness, plus one of the reasons I use Hyprland or tiling window managers in general, is because I want to have full control over my windows and how they are positioned. IMO the more control the user/window manager has, the better (also for productivity).
The example mentioned before of wanting to stream a youtube video full screen without it actually covering the entire screen is something I often did before when using XMonad. Back there in Xorg, I just removed the code that listened for the fullscreen request using the _NET_WM_STATE protocol. So the window would think it went fullscreen, but actually it was still tiled and controlled in its cute little space my window manager made for it.
I think that more window control is something that improves productivity and would therefore very much appreciate such a feature.
That being said, I think there's a ton on the todo list already xd Thanks for all the hard work you're putting in developing Hyprland. It's been my daily driver for a while now and it's absolutely awesome.
Thx for picking it up so quickly!
Could you elaborate on the expected behavior of this? I observe the following: fullscreen keybinding:
- any window toggles fullscreen, covers all other windows
fakefullscreen keybinding:
- no effect on some windows; e.g. foot terminal (probably doesn't have a fullscreen function)
- identical to fullscreen keybinding on other windows e.g. firefox toggles fullscreen, covers all other windows
From the thread above I would expect firefox in the second case to 'go fullscreen' without covering other windows.
Am I doing something wrong here? Or did I misinterpret something?
This doesn't seem to be working for me either. Triggerring the fakefullscreen dispatcher while having chromium focused doesn't seem to have any effect at all, same as doing so in alacritty terminal. However triggering it on firefox seems to actually make firefox go fullscreen, which hyprland picks up and fullscreens the window normally, covering everything else.
Also, I've noticed that there's no IPC event sent out once fakefullscreen is ran, and when I ran it on chrome or alacritty, no events were sent out at all. When running on firefox, regular fullscreen>>1 was sent. Am I doing something wrong?
(This is what I have in settings: bind = CTRL, Space, fakefullscreen,)
chromium in wayland works perfectly fine.
As for firefox, yeah it seems to send its own events, will see what I can do bout those.

Indeed, it does. I was running chromium over XWayland though, and that's when I've seen the issue.
Yeah, that's fair. But still, it should work on apps running through XWayland in general.

one thing that I noticed is that firefox will use the monitor's size in fullscreen (in some cases, for some reason) regardless of the window size, so fullscreen content may be cropped. (e.g. youtube videos)
windows will now not be allowed to change their fullscreen state if fakefullscreen is active for them. only you can with a manual keybind.

This is actually the same behavior that i had on xmonad, but the other way around for some reason (chromium was getting cropped, firefox was not), and the same (hacky) fix works in hyprland: resize window one pixel and back again in an event hook. https://xmonad.github.io/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Util-Hacks.html https://xmonad.github.io/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/src/XMonad.Util.Hacks.html#windowedFullscreenFixEventHook

And this is preventing me implementing the same hack for hyprland with a socket2 script.
Speaking of scripting, i have questions on now to implement this and other things, but they would get pretty long and off topic, so i'll create a discussion thread: #1503
Back to the fakefullscreen though, i've found that toggling it on an mpv window with --force-window=immediate isn't preventing it from going fullscreen. I don't know if this is a separate issue from #1375 or not, but seems like one.
