Title: Possible to Run Status Bar Over All Windows?
Post by: jakfish on June 17, 2018, 12:32:01 pm
I'd like to save as much screen real estate as possible. So can a user run the status bar over the app's window title, making the app full screen and the status bar still functioning?

A picture is worth much more than my sorry phrasing;

This is a screenshot from Linux Mate 18.3, which is running a permanent conky over every window. Because the vitals are in the window title, I can hide the system tray pretty much all the time.

I suppose Plan B would be an app to toggle the system bar. Or Plan C could be the permanent hiding of the status bar and replacing it with the conky equivalent in Android. But I haven't seen anything like that...

Thanks for any advice/suggestions,
Jake
