Hi,
In ubuntu, if I send "border 0" to [gemwin], then the window (once created), besides being borderless which is the expected part, also sticks on top and doesn't have a button in the panel on the bottom of the screen as windows usually have.
Not so in Windows, where it just creates a borderless window which, a part being borderless, behaves as any other window.
Is there a way in Linux to get a gem window that is simply borderless without sticking on top and without having to renounce to the panel button??
thanks m.
if there is no solution within Pd you could always use Devilspie:
http://live.gnome.org/DevilsPie
I use that app a lot with much success for issues like this.

GridFlow has a "border 0" like you want. You send it just after the window creation :
[#out x11, border 0] or [#out, open x11, border 0]
(commas inside GF objectboxes are like loadbanged messageboxes)
Then you can move that window using Alt+leftdrag, get its border-menu with Alt+space, and see it in taskbars, taskbuttons, and Alt+tab.
But also, GridFlow supports other kind of borderless window (unmanaged windows that aren't listed anywhere and can only be moved by pd messages). These are made by:
[#out x11 here override_redirect]
For OSX, there's also a "border 0" option in [#out quartz], thanks to Patrick Boivin, but it works a bit differently, by necessity. But on OSX, it's not so hard to use [#out x11] too, with the full option set.

Is there a simple possibility (hidden) to avoid that the Gem window become the top most window on linux when you send 'border 0' ? Thanx for help. ++

Yo Jack, a simple trick for that is to use fluxbox, with this window manager you can hide your windows decoration with a simple shorcut: http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Borderless_windows easy and efficient

is it scriptable ? If so it could be triggered from within pd.
Hello Pierre,
Thanx for the recommandation, but i am looking for a simplest way with Ubuntu Gnome Classic. It would be nice if i could send a message to [gemwin] to disable topmost window when you send 'border 0' message (under Linux). ++

"border 0" in [gemwin] on Linux uses the override_redirect option in X11's XCreateWindow(). This causes the window to be untouchable and unlisted.
Contrast this with "border 0" in [#out window] on Linux, which uses MotifWmHints to remove the border and decorations (buttons,title,etc), but allows Alt+leftdrag, Alt+rightdrag and Alt+middleclick to still work (or whatever key+mouse shortcuts you have mapped for move/resize/menu). This also makes the window listed in all window-lists (incl Alt+tab).
[gemwin]'s "border 0" is the equivalent of GF's [#out window here override_redirect] instead.
