Okay, understandable. In this case your choice is limited, but that shouldn't be a big problem. Just see how firefox can be brought into fullscreen mode, either by one of its own options, or by using the generic -geometry option as shown in the "dillo" example. firefox -width 1024 -height 768 But "firefox -help" doesn't show parameters for positioning, and also by pressing PF11 for "interactively entered fullscreen mode", the navigational elements keep being present. But maybe there's something you can do by configuration file, so getting rid of navigational bars should be possible too. --=20 Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
