I recall that IceWM allowed for you to fully maximize apps over the taskbar with no borders at all. Fluxbox will let you maximize over the taskbar, but it still has borders.

Is there a way to just be able to right click on an app's taskbar icon and make it fullscreen, but still have them default into a normal window?

Sorry if this is unclear, but any help would be appreciated.

I am not so sure about that. For eg Firefox and Abiword do that by themselves (when you press f11 or menu item) in fluxbox but i couldnt find in any fluxbox documention if it could do that a la icewm.

I think I had to capitalize the mod1=... key in xmodmap_us to make it work. I then evenutally mapped it to the "home" key because I never use those.

Same here, thank you very much, shame I didn't think about using google. However that's a common problem with documentation in the opensource world
