[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Message-ID: <m2a7s1mavt.fsf <at> gmail.com>
--text follows this line--

1. Create ~/undecorated.el file with following content:

  (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(undecorated . t))

2. Start Emacs:

   $ emacs -Q --load ~/undecorated.el

   or (if you don't want to create files)

   $ emacs -q --execute "(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(undecorated .
t))"

3. Try one of the following actions

3.1. M-x toggle-frame-fullsreen

     Frames' window (in macOS sense) becomes fullscreen. But it doesn't
     cover all screen, instead it remains of the same default size with
     black area around.

3.2. Use Spectacle.app (or similar application for resizing windows in
     macOS)

     Frame is not resized.

In both cases I expect frames to properly resize.

Note that calling toggle-frame-maximized after the startup works like a
charm.

I've tried patching src/nsterm.m file by chaning definition of
FRAME_DECORATED_FLAGS from

  #define FRAME_UNDECORATED_FLAGS NSWindowStyleMaskBorderless

to

  #define FRAME_UNDECORATED_FLAGS NSWindowStyleMaskBorderless |
   NSWindowStyleMaskResizable

and creating EmacsFSWindow instead of EmacsWindow (so canBecomeKeyWindow
and canBecomeMainWindow both return YES).

But it didn't make the trick.

Let me know if you need any additional information.

Hmm, this isn’t very good. Maybe we should be resetting the window
style before and after toggling fullscreen.

Unfortunately this is expected. Apparently macOS doesn’t like you
changing the window style on the fly, and resizing breaks. The
solution appears to be to recreate the NSWindow, or give up on
NSWindowStyleMaskBorderless and switch to using
NSFullSizeContentViewWindowMask and its relatives.

I would expect that to work. Is the line break just because of your
email client? If not then you need to escape the newline like this:

    #define FRAME_UNDECORATED_FLAGS NSWindowStyleMaskBorderless \
                                    | NSWindowStyleMaskResizable

You don’t need this. IIRC EmacsFSWindow exists solely for non‐native
fullscreen.

Hey Alan,

Thank you for your reply!

> merge 31795 28512

Apparently, my search-fu has failed me as I didn't know about ticket 28512
before submitting new one. Thanks for linking.

That ticket actually reveals some insights on why the whole thing with
borderless mask doesn't behave as I want it to behave. As you say in your
message:

> Apparently macOS doesn’t like you changing the window style on the fly,
and
> resizing breaks.

As it turns out, you can achieve goal by creating a window without
NSWindowStyleMaskTitled regardless the undecorated flag value. It's not a
solution in general way, but in case someone is interested, I can share a
patch.

Though it would be nice to make it working with undecorated frame option.

I should try this out.

Maybe. Because (let's say) it's not useful as is :)

> I would expect that to work.

OK, so I am not the only one :)

> Is the line break just because of your email client?

Exactly. Originally I've put it in one line.

I was desperate.
