# The Fullscreen Mode

The fullscreen mode works only for the Asus EEEpc. Making the SlideEditor, the adventure games, Thunderbird, OpenOffice and all other applications fullscreen. This applies to the easy mode desktop of the Asus EEEpc.
The IceWM window manager is able to maximize windows and remove the indow decorations, which results in a full screen mode just like the one Firefox or Opera offer. I really like to use it in Thunderbird and OpenOffice.
Asus however disabled this by default but re-enabling it is sooo easy .
If you didn't do this already you'll need to make a user copy of the IceWM prefs (Open a terminal with "CTRL-ALT-t"):
Code:
/home/user> mkdir ~/.icewm
/home/user> cp /etc/X11/icewm/preferences /home/user/.icewm
Then you need to edit those preferences, e.g. with kwrite.
Code:
/home/user> kwrite /home/user/.icewm/preferences
Search for â€?AllowFullscreenâ€? and remove the â€œ#â€? at the beginning of the line. Check if it is set to â€œ1â€³.
After restarting your IceWM (e.g. with CTRL-AL-BACKSPACE) you can make use of the fullscreen mode in all applications by hitting ALT-F11.
Choose from the file menu "swap screenmode" to change between normal and fullscreen view.
