[Solution] FullScreen and Notify-Send Messages

Postby 1121skooter » 07 Jun 2010 17:29

vlc 1.0.6 ubuntu 10.40

Is it possible to be able to see any notify-send messages appear on the a VLC movie in full screen window.

Would be nice to see system events over the screen.

(looked in preferences, but might have missed it.)

THANX

[SOLUTION]

To have all OSD, (notify-send, xmessage, zenity ....) messages appear while in full-screen mode. Keeps your panels showing, but you can hide those panels by adding show hide buttons under panel properties.

1.Open a Video
2. Click mouse on video TITLE BAR. Will NOT work if mouse is elsewhere.
3 Ctrl+h - enters Minimal mode
4. Either Maximize the window, or Alt+F10 will toggle between Minimal Mode and Full Screen.
5. Hide your panels.
6. Messages will appear!

DONE
