[X2Go-User] windows-10: how to setup borderless fullscreen window mode in multi monitor setup?

[Jörg Scheuermann]

hey there,

I have a new Windows-10 PC with 2 different-size monitors (16:9 + 4:3) attached.

In my old Windows-7 PC I used to have X2Go running in borderless fullscreen window mode completely covering my widescreen monitor - so I could easily use the 4:3 monitor (e.g. Windows terminal program on the small monitor, while the X session covers the big one) without disturbing the 16:9 monitor.

I tried that with my new Windows-10 PC to no avail - best I could get is Fullscreen mode, but this does not work for me: the mouse is locked to the big X screen and I cannot simply move to the small one.
to do this I have to leave the fullscreen mode -- very distracting (flickering) and annoying.

configuring the output to not be fullscreen but any of the other options does not get me to what I was used to have either: it's placing the X screen somewhere in the "middle", covering both of my monitors ...


//update:
seems when playing with output settings, x2go stores some strange settings somewhere
- only way to get rid of placing the X screen "between" my monitors was to completely deleting that session and entering all the data again into a new one :/

anyway: I now have somethings I can live with, but still not perfect:
even if I set the Display to "use whole monitor", it is not overlapping the taskbar - but only above!
- meaning my X Desktop is higher than my monitor and I always have to scroll to see the top/bottom :-(

--> is there any way to:
* either have the X Window covering *everything*, including the taskbar,
* or only let the X server render the screen not in the full height, but excluding the taskbars height?

any of these options would get me the full X desktop on my widescreen monitor, without the need for scrolling; I don't really care whether I see the taskbar or not...

any help please!


p.s.
the other two Display options are broken:
* "custom resolution" does not take the selected monitor into account
   (see above: it's placing that custom window in the 'middle', covering both of my monitors)
* "maximum size" does not generate a borderless window

p.p.s.
if I set the taskbar to auto-hide, the X screen still is pretending that it was there,
i.e. it's not covering the taskbars space and I have an empty row where the taskbar used to be...
