XFCE Terminal Window Real Estate

[onblm]

Good day!

Just wanted to post my inquiry here maybe somebody has encountered the same. When I open a terminal window it always has an extra space at the bottom that it does not occupy. It seems like it is reserving a space for the Terminal Menu Bar because when I show the menu bar it occupies the said space. Please look at the picture below.

Does anybody know how can I use that blank space for my terminal without showing the menu bar?

Thanks!

I can't see what you're talking about in your screenshot. I see the prompt at the very top of the terminal. Perhaps if you posted a screenshot of the entire terminal against a light-colored background it would be more clear as to what you mean.

The resize handles get in the way and won't let you drag it all the way to the bottom of the screen.

Something like this works for me to get the terminal window to use the full height of the screen.

Code: Select all

xdotool getactivewindow windowsize --usehints %0 96%

The first number is for the width, it doesn't change the terminal window's width when you use %0. The second number is for the height, originally I thought you would use %100 but I found I couldn't see the prompt when it was at the bottom of the terminal window using %100, so I backed if off some. Oh, and the menubar is disabled.

Right click on the terminal have a look through preferences maybe this may help you fill the bottom pixels. ?
