How to Maximize and Undecorate All Apps in Xubuntu

window-managerxubuntu

On my netbook I'm running Xubuntu as it works much faster than Unity 2D. I'd like to have all the apps maximized and undecorated, is there any way to do that without Compiz?

You can go someway towards this with the package maximus available from synaptic/software center

maximus Install maximus

The image below shows maximising windows in Xubuntu using maximus.

To test, start maximus via

nohup maximus &

One issue I found with maximus under XFCE (xubuntu 11.04) - Windows will start maximised but not undecorated - you need to click the maximise button twice.

Use the Q&A below to add the command line above to your XFCE/Xubuntu startup applications.
