Application's Fullscreener
+
+ +
What is it?
+ +Application's Fullscreener is a set of small + tools + for Maemo4.x + created to send an emulated fullscreen hardware key stroke + to a GUI application by its name.
+ +The main tool makes use of + the Gtk+ cross-platform + widget toolkit.
+Installing
+ +The easiet way of installing Application's + Fullscreener is by clicking on + upper's "Install" + button or through its entry + in Maemo + Downloads.
+Features
+ +Application's Fullscreener brings two main tools:
+-
+
- gtk_fullscreen_process: This + application identifies a XWindow ID by its + process PID and sends a XKeyEvent which + emulates the stroke of the hardware key in + the N8x0 devices + for un/fullscreening the foreground application. + +
- g_launch_and_fullscreen: This
+ application spawns a process by its name and also
+ a gtk_fullscreen_process which will try to
+ fullscreen a windows owned by the first process after some
+ seconds. Also, it will not return until the first process is
+ dead and will pass the SIGHUP signal when needed to
+ the first spawn process.
This makes it quite suitable to + its usage with a watchdog + like dsme.
