wmctrl

Spoiler:

xdotool

This time round I didn't bundle libs already on the devices.

Enjoy.

Nice package there.
Now let us hope someone uses it for an interesting project and reports back.

[root@kindle /dev]# wmctrl -r L:A_N:titleBar_ID:system -e '0,0,0,600,1'

[root@kindle /dev]# wmctrl -r L:A_N:titleBar_ID:system -e '0,0,0,600,30'

Use number 1

hiding the titlebar is a less lethal way. sweet.

wmctrl -r L:A_N:titleBar_ID:system -e '0,0,0,600,30'

This is far-as-I-can-tell a working "one shot" solution.

geometry based workarounds for status bar now in place.

Provides a complete, "safe", screen tear-down and build-back.
Allowing the Kindle system to run unmolested and us to hack on screen content.

EDIT: To use these tools the way I use them:
I configure my system as outlined at minimodding.

http://minimodding.com/article9-Kind...ng-custom-apps

I am thinking of possibly making the whitney button have a triple-click to toggle the tear-up and tear-down. (separate process / thread to game) in case of "accidents", or maybe I could test for geometry? undecided.

no, now I'm thinking use TCL... maybe

either way this works.

Provided "as-is" - you would want SSH access running to use this at present.

Cheers.

Any ideas why wmctrl works with window title (-r), but not with window id (-i -r)?
never mind, made a typo
