Can the "Legacy fullscreen applications" behaviour switched off ?

I want to have a fullscreen application to be below a other window. But openbox does not allow this behaviour.
Using wmctrl -r "DialogueWindow" -b add,above does not bringt the DialogueWindow in front.

Wenn I make the fullscreen window not "fullscreen" (a shift of one pixel is sufficient e.g.: wmctrl -r
"FullscreenWindow" -g 0,1,-1,-1-,-1) all works fine.

Is there a way to disable this "Legacy fullscreen applications" behaviour

Regards

Rainer

allow mouse and keyboard exclusively for a window

Hi,

I stiwtched from WindowMaker to OpenBox some time ago and I am quite happy
with the change.

Anyway, there is one thing still missing for me -- for special application
(vncviewer, gimp) it was possible in WindowMaker to set, that mouse and
keyboard was exclusively for this application (window) -- which has allowed
that special key/mouse bindings were not captured by the window manager
itself, but rather passed to the application in specified window.

I am wondering if there is such a settings in OpenBox?  I am quite unable
to google it.

Regards,
Martin

Are the windows related? Making it a transient window of the fullscreen window would cause it to appear in front.

Not without modifying the code.

There is no such setting for an application. However one option is to make a chroot key binding with only one binding inside, to BreakChroot. Then when you want to turn off your keys, you hit the Chroot binding, and the only binding Openbox will honour is the BreakChroot inside.

Thanks for a tip!

After a few hours of usage, this seems even better than what windowmaker
has.

just have a look at ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml and edit it:
---
[...]
  <desktops>                                                                                                                                                                          
    <!-- this stuff is only used at startup, pagers allow you to change
them during a session these are default values to use when other ones are not already
set by other applications, or saved in your session  use obconf if you
want to change these without having to log out and back in -->
<number>3</number>
<firstdesk>1</firstdesk>
<names>
<name>A1</name>
<name>B2</name>
<name>C3</name>
</names>
<popupTime>0</popupTime> <!-- The number of milliseconds to show the
popup for when switching desktops.  Set this to 0 to disable the popup.
--> </desktops>   
[...]

I meant on the fly. I don't use a pager, so are there any recommendations as to which is the simplest one that
will let me do it? I looked at netwmpager but didn't see how it could change the workspace name.
