How do I get these bars at the top and bottom to disappear, when playing games?

You have to hit Alt + F3 when the game window is focused, and select "Keep above others" from the menus.

There's also an option to get rid of titlebar and frame from games that insist on rendering those.

From the "Configure Application (something)" submenu option you can make those changes persistent.

Your other option is to configure your panels to autohide, dodge windows, or keep below windows.

Does pressing right click on top bar does anything ?
Show threadIgilqMay 27
Depends on game, most games work normally in fullscreen. Also, bar at top isn’t default

There is a shortcut for Fullscreen, i thunk its F11
Show thread4RobatoMay 27
For some games I have to alt+tab twice to remove that (deselecting and selecting again)

Those are your desktop panels. This might help:

  • right click a blank area on one of them
  • enter edit mode
  • more options…
  • visibility: windows can cover
Show threadda_cow (she/her)May 27

There is no such thing as “more options” when i enter the edit mode. Theres this thing:

Where i found nothing about visibility, and then theres this thing:

Where I get to choose between “Foreground, Background, Limiting and hidden”

None of the option acieves the desired effect

Your screen shots look like you right-clicked the desktop and selected its edit mode. Unfortunately, I don’t read German, so I don’t know what to make of the text shown there.

What I’m describing requires right-clicking a blank area of the panel and selecting its edit mode. When you do that, a bar should appear with buttons including Add Widgets, Add Spacer, and More Options.

Tested in Plasma 5.

When I enter the edit mode of the bar, and then rightclick on the bar again I get this:

Where I can (top to bottom), cocnfigure the taskmanager, chose another task manager, add widgets, edit the general settings of the bar (which leads me to the things described in my last comment), remove the task manager and remove the bar completely.

I am on Plasma 6.3.5

Show threadwhoMay 28

Hm… Those options make it seem like like you’re configuring a widget within the panel (like the application launcher or task manager widgets) rather than the panel itself.

It’s possible that the options we’re looking for were moved in Plasma 6, but I don’t have a Plasma 6 installation at hand, so I can’t look for them. Maybe someone else who sees this will be able to.

For some reason feddit.org ignores my connection request and it’s been doing this for months (maybe for as long as I remember).

Even tried the same with wget. It doesn’t even reject my connection, but lets me time-out.

Yeah, I am unable to see the image in this post.
Only the thumbnail, which is provided by the homeserver.

alt + enter (ive never seen this behaviour before with KDE though, very strange)
Show threadJesus_666May 27

My girlfriend has this when she plays Palworld. She switches between two of my computers to do so and on both Palworld will start thinking it has the full screen while the menu bar is still present.

Usually, alt-tabbing out and back in helps, as does using alt + enter twice.

Oddly enough, I don’t get this behavior on either computer so it seems to be connected to something user-specific.

Show threadcevnMay 28
You should be able to get around it with alt f3 then special application settings - apply fullscreen initially

I’m sorry, but cows are over rated. The cultural-culinary hegemony of high-end beef is real, and their milk knows no market rival. Sure, they’re good, but that good? Nothing could live up. A two-digit percentage of the world’s population, on the other hand, hold cows in such high regard that they don’t eat them at all! If any animal has a claim to being underrated it’s not the cow of all beasts. Spiders, bats, snakes: such as these are the animals that warrant much-deserved advocacy and repair of their reputations.

@cows_are_underrated @WeLoveCastingSpellz If the game does not have a native Fullscreen option, you can sometimes trigger it with F11 and always by tapping Alt-F3 and selection it in the menu that pops up
Show threadTerHuMay 28
if you check the shortcuts section of the settings there should be one option that is maximise and one that is fullscreen. it’s one of those two. i tend to have what you’re looking at on ctrl-meta-f and the true fullscreen you’re trying to achieve on meta-f though i think i set them to those shortcuts 😅
