Now I’m back to gorgeous fullscreen mode within OpenNX on my Thunderbolt display, without that pesky menubar Sudo chmod 644 /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/Contents/ist Sudo defaults write /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/Contents/ist LSUIPresentationMode -int 4
#X2go macos xquartz how to
I tried it, and it works just fine within XQuartz – here’s how to do it from within a terminal session on your Mac: … to 4 in the app or program’s ist would hide the menubar. No problem with the Dock, however, which you can autohide on the Thunderbolt display ( Apple Icon -> Dock -> Dock Preferences)īlasted menubar, I thought! No option to hide it! I did some Googling on this, and it turns out that setting the value of this parameter: Now however in Mavericks, the menubar is present and stops me from accessing the top bar of my Linux desktop, which is a pain.
Prior to the Mavericks upgrade, I could remotely connect to my Linux desktop over OpenNX and having that in fullscreen mode on the Thunderbolt display – it looked just great, and presented in true fullscreen mode – no menubar, and no Dock. One such app is XQuartz, which provides the X11 backend to programs like OpenNX and other X aware products. Some apps can, such as Oracle’s VirtualBox, but others can’t.

I was very keen to upgrade to Mavericks so I could use the “ Displays have separate Spaces” feature ( System Preferences -> Mission Control), which gives each display control over its own Spaces, without mirroring / tying them together.Īlong with separate Spaces comes the addition of a separate Dock and Menubar to the second display, which is great – that is, unless your apps or programs can’t hide the menubar in fullscreen mode. I use a Thunderbolt display attached to my Macbook Pro, and I love the extra screen real estate it gives me. The rest of the instructions below about hiding the menu bar still apply to X-Quartz of course NOTE: When starting up X2Go client and the X window appears, move the window away from the screen edges before maximising – otherwise there is still a chance of maximising into inaccessible space!

– x2goclient for Mac OS X, latest release Oct 19 – X-Quartz-2.7.6 – I found the later version 2.7.7 incapable of allowing X2Goclient to use the maximise button, and was very frustrating with the X window going off screen and becoming inaccessible – The latest release of x2Goserver on Ubuntu
This also means no more NXserver on the Ubuntu side, especially after upgrading to Ubuntu v14.04.1 – X2Goserver provides all you need on the server sideįollow the instructions here to show you how to add the apt repo to your Ubuntu box In X2Goclient, click on the maximise (green ‘+’) button and the X window just fills all the space on the Thunderbolt display. This because I found X2Goclient better at handling full screen mode than OpenNX. I’ve moved away from using OpenNX to X2Go. NOTE: I’ve updated the below post after recently upgrading my MBP to Yosemite.
