[solved] e17 remove terminal titlebar/borders

[peterhodges]

how do i remove the window title bar, borders, etc?  i have done it in gnome, is it possible in e17?

[smurfslover]

Click the icon in the upper left corner of the window or right-click the title bar to access the window menu.
Choose More/Border/Select border style, select style borderless or style pixel (pixel looks best) and check the box to remember the applications setting.
To access the window meny from an application without borders press Ctrl + Alt +W

hey thanks!

i also found in the same place, hide scroll bar and hide tab bar. now, is there a way to make the cursor blink? 

i've got conky, mdp, ncmpcpp all configured and the desktop looks sharp.  now i will try to get all of that to autostart.  thanks for the help people!

To add stuff to autostart: Settings panel/applications/autostart applications

For custom commands use the new application entry, it'll make a .desktop file stored in ~/.local/share/applications/

i have had no luck with autostart.  i got terminal to start by simply adding it to the autostart list in the configuration module

for some reason none of the scripts are working.  this is what i try:

in vi editor type

#!/bin/bash
mpd

 save as ./mpdlaunch.sh.  then right click on file, properties, and set to executable.  i have done this before with success, but nothing is happening now.  here is the one i made that worked before, but does nothing now:

#!/bin/bash
killall conky
conky

this should be simple.  what is up??

if i move them to the desktop they work??  but i do not want them on the desktop.  also, can i have the script run them in Konsole?

You have to make a .desktop file for your command in ~/.local/share/applications/ (for one user) or in /usr/share/applications/ (all users) in order to add it to autostart. Never tried to excecute a bash script from a .desktop file but guess it should work.

hey smurfslover i think that does the trick...i did one for conky and it fired right up.  this and the changing paths had me quitting in frustration last night!

 i really appreciate the tip.
