only fullscreen windows

[makayabou]

Hello,
I want to configure a user's desktop so that all applications always open in fullscreen mode, and the user can't minimize or resize them.
I didn't find the right settings using gsettings and dconf.
I'm using Debian 8 with Mate.

Thanks

You may like tiling window manager. Read https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=92948

Indeed I found a list of tiling WM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiling_window_manager), but I don't think that is what I want.

I'm configuring computer for NGO that work with both youngsters (who want to use a classic WM and desktop appearance), and also old people, who are fastly lost with windows overlapping and minimizing..
That's why i was thinking of dconf, that can create user's specific rules..
thanks for the help

I cannot understand concretely nor clearly what you want to do. Good bye and good luck

You can do this with LXDE or LXQT very easily via the used window manager openbox [1]. Openbox offers per-app settings which allows to configure what you are looking for [2].

KDE Kiosk Admin Tool will facilitate this on KDE. See https://userbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Adm ... troduction
I set up a desktop in a hotel lobby using this a few years back and it worked well.

Hello people,

thanks for your tips.

Using openbox could be a hint, but we use computers powerful enough to run more modern WM..
I always thought of KDE as a highly configurable Desktop Environment, even I've always preferred Gnome.

Whatever, Kiosk Admin Tool really looks like it reaches the very same purpose I do.

I think I will take a deeper look at KDE Kiosk Admin Tool, but I'd rather find a solution using Mate Or Gnome...

Thanks a lot anymway.

Xfce 4 has the kiosk mode feature:

Searching for "kiosk" mode will probably get you what you need. There was an article in Linux Journal about setting up a Tiny Core monitor screen: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/pra ... re-service. It's probably not what you want, but you might look it over to see if there is anything there you can use.
