If you want to make GNU Emacs
fullscreen, there are three things you should do:
- Disable tool bar
This can be accomplished executing (inside Emacs) (tool-bar-mode -1)
- Disable menu bar
This can be done executing (menu-bar-mode -1)
- Go to full screen mode
You have to execute (set-frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen 'fullboth)
If you want to disable always tool bar and menu bar, like me, and you want to be able to go to full screen with a keystroke (F11, for example), add this to your .emacs:
;; F11 = Full Screen
(defun toggle-fullscreen (&optional f)
(interactive)
(let ((current-value (frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen)))
(set-frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen
(if (equal 'fullboth current-value)
(if (boundp 'old-fullscreen) old-fullscreen nil)
(progn (setq old-fullscreen current-value)
'fullboth)))))
(global-set-key [f11] 'toggle-fullscreen)
;; Disable tool-bar
(tool-bar-mode -1)
;; Disable Menu Bar
(menu-bar-mode -1)
