How to make your window Full Screen in gnome?

-

I have often had this problem of getting quite seriously distracted while coding and I always like to use as much screen real state to work on but then again, there are other applications that need it too and it can be a lot of distraction with gmail messages popping up and all sorts of nasty stuff happening. One option is to just go into some other desktop manager but I kind of like solving the problems at hand and gnome does provide me with some really good features that I've become used to. I started wondering if I could make eclipse full screen so that I can just focus on the code and hopefully nothing else. Then I came across this useful link http://www.enigmacurry.com/2007/02/17/gnome-kiosk-mode-make-any-app-fullscreen supposed to be a rant about the feature gnome lacked but updated to add this instruction. There is a nice feature that lets users set keybindings. Here are the steps: 1. Open gconf-editor using the trusty old Alt-F2 combination Now go to /apps/metacity/window...

But the codes on our sites still do suffer this problem of being black and white. I solved this problem for our college's hfoss wiki by installing the GeSHi CodeTag Extension for mediawiki but while looking at my own posts in here, it seems the idea needs to be extended to blogger. It really looks too ugly to my used-to-pretty-IDE eyes. In my quest to look for a solution, I hit this blog http://codeshepherd.blogspot.com/2007/09/syntax-highlighting-for-code-embedded.html Which had two ideas. First one, to use vim's TOhtml. But being lazy to modify all my files over and over again, I decided to forego it. I copied the prettfy.js and prettify.css files to my ubuntu.org.np server and followed the instructions at http://google-code-prettify.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/README.html The effec...
