(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: konsole Version: KDE 3.0.0 Severity: normal Installed from: Mandrake RPMs Compiler: Not Specified OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified I want to make my konsole in full screen mode without any menu or tool bar or sthg like that as it was possible in kde 2. But I can't remove one thick line at the top and bottom of the screen. Just a little bug. Not really severe but ... Yes it is a bug isn't it? :o) (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)
I'd like to note that this is still present in KDE 3.0.5a, and is quite annoying. I've taken to keeping kdelibs/base from KDE 2 around so I can run a konsole that does fullscreen properly. I'd love to be purely KDE 3 but until konsole works full screen, I must stick with a previous version. In short, while this is not a serious bug (konsole still works fine), it's severe enough that I just can't use it.
Don't know when this was added, but in HEAD you can switch this frame on/off Go to: Settings->Configure Konsole..->General->Show frame to toggle the border you are seeing
Regarding the comment by Karl Vogel: KDE 3 (and 2, for that matter) has always had the ability to remove the frame. The problem is that in KDE 3, you can't completely remove the frame. Basically, it's "show big fat frame" or "show smaller frame". Try going full screen in KDE 3 and you'll see the problem. If you mean this option has been fixed in HEAD (ie, no frame really does mean no frame), then sorry for the misunderstanding.. =) FWIW it's still the same problem in KDE 3.1.1
Just to keep this bug up-2-date.. see posting on konsole-devel list: From: Waldo Bastian <bastian@kde.org> Subject: [Konsole-devel] [PATCH] Qt adds extra space to layouts when it shouldn't.

This bug is still present in CVS head as of Jan 4, 2004. I would personally love to see this fixed. If someone pointed me in the right direction, I could have a look at fixing it. Email me...
The two small lines are due to a Qt problem that is reported as Issue N23563. It is unlikely to be fixed before Qt 4.
could it be workarounded? it is _very very_ annoying. There are KDE apps that can be totally borderless, why* konsole can't? *sorry, but google not found anything useful with "Issue N23563" or "qt bug 23563".. http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23563 have unrelated info. thats why I asking. p.s. I spent one day of my weekend looking at source code of konsole.. and it seems not TEWidget (derived from QFrame) and not KTabWidget (derived from QTabWidget) draws that annoying lines.

Created attachment 6489 [details] This attachment shows the border which cannot be removed I have exact the same problem as described above. This bug report is already more than a year old, and still, it isn't fixed!
As Waldo mentions in Comment #7, this is a QT bug, not KDE/konsole. Does QT not have a public bug webpage? Should this be marked as Resolve->Later?
There is still a frame around the window in full screen mode in 1.6.4 version. Disabling 'Show frame' doesn't fix the problem. In Comment #8 is referred that the frame isn't created by the tab widget. But I am almost sure that it is. So please developers of konsole, let us know what is the true cause of that frame. By the way, the problem that is referred at the Comment #7 is relative to this: http://lists.kde.org/?l=konsole-devel&m=108081508612769&w=2
This bug still appears in Konsole SVN (based on KDE 4, Qt 4) and it is because of the QTabWidget frame - you can see less visible evidence in other KDE applications as well. I and at least one other have referred this to Trolltech. It would be best for Qt to provide a way of hiding the frame, but if that is not possible there are some hacks that can be used in Konsole or possibly KTabWidget.
OK, it's good that the cause of this bug is known now. Now, would be very difficult to implement a patch that will allow users to use konsole without tabs (generally or in fullscreen mode)?
> Now, would be very difficult to implement a patch that will allow users to use konsole without tabs (generally or in fullscreen mode)? Hiding the tab bar (where the tabs are displayed) is easy, but that isn't the problem. The problem is the frame which surrounds the 'page area' (where the terminal emulator is displayed) - and that is part of Qt's QTabWidget.
You got me wrong. I was talking about a patch that would remove the terminal emulator from the QTabWidget. Like a konsole,without tab support. > ------- Additional Comments From robertknight gmail com 2006-09-04 13:42 ------- > > Now, would be very difficult to implement a patch that will allow users to use konsole without tabs (generally or in fullscreen mode)? > > Hiding the tab bar (where the tabs are displayed) is easy, but that isn't the problem.
