Feature request to return the ability to maximize and fullscreen windows across multiple monitors instead of restricting them to a single monitor. While 5760x1080 is the resolution of the "screen" its still recognizes separate monitors when maximizing and fullscreening windows. Steam for Linux, SteamOS, and Steam Machines are becoming popular and it would benefit to be able to play in "big picture mode" and play games across my triple monitors instead of my games being locked to a single monitor. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: click maximize Actual Results: see it only fill one screen Expected Results: I'd like the option for it to fill all the screens. ### xrandr -q ### Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 5760 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384 DFP1 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 521mm x 293mm DFP5 connected 1920x1080+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 521mm x 293mm DFP9 connected 1920x1080+3840+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 521mm x 293mm ### lspci | grep VGA ### 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

I guess this is unrelated to KScreen, but needs to be added to KWin.
"kcmshell5 kwinscripts", enable the "video wall" script. This covers fullscreen windows - from the report i'd say that's the predominant use case?
I've enabled this script and it doesn't appear to do anything. Have you tested this on steam big picture mode? After enabling the script, I logged out and back in, no dice. rebooted to no avail. I'm not sure this kwin script is working. This IS the functionality I'm looking for though :D
No steam here - not gonna happen. Please run steam (no matter on how many screens, bug must be fullscreen) and konsole. Then in konsole enter "xwininfo" and when the cursor turns into a '+', juct click the steam window. Then do the same with "xprop". Attach both outputs to the bug.

Meh, it's because the script filters for classes and only matches some (including dragon...) video players The general approach works (edit /usr/share/kwin/scripts/videowall/contents/code/main.js and make "isVideoPlayer" "return true;" instantly) but we need a beteter way for black/whitelist selection (notably a GUI)

how do you find the name of the resource?
eg. run "xprop WM_CLASS" and click the window adding a "detect" button like in the rules kcm is presently not supported by the *.ui/*.xml config stuff.
It would be good if there was some way to log the value. I was trying to get this to work earlier to deal with the python-whiteboard package (uses a wii remote and an infrared led to let you move the mouse on a big screen or projected image) and the calibration routine goes 'full screen' and doesn't let me more away from it to run xprop using kubunti 15.10 I wasn't able to get anything to go fullscreen across the two monitors, even when I did return true; ahead of the if statements, so there's probably something else I'm getting wrong.
The client grabs input (notably the keyboard) in fullscreen mode, but you can fetch the class from the "normal" dialog or any other application window (the class is usually "per-application")
