It appears to be, on the other hand, only actually active in the workspace it was activated in (or assigned to), since exiting feh only works when switched to the corresponding workspace. Using feh in any other mode or on any other dm (Ubuntu XFCE and i3dm, OpenSUSE13.1 KDE and i3dm) works as expected. Since I use feh on every computer around and never experienced anything funny before, I suspect it to be something in the Raspberry Pi / i3 configuration.

Anyone? https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4112/feh-on-all-workspaces/?comment=4125#comment-4125Hi joelmo, Yes I tried that but that doesn't do anything. I got some output however, when trying this from a terminal: feh WARNING: Window Manager does not support MWM hints. To get a borderless window I have to bypass your wm. There you are. So the wm is bypassed. Can this be solved?Fri, 04 Jul 2014 19:54:17 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4112/feh-on-all-workspaces/?comment=4125#comment-4125Comment by joelmo for When on my Raspberry Pi (Raspbian) with i3dm I use feh as my image viewer in Fullscreen mode (feh -F), it appears fullscreen on ALL my workspaces, thus blocking me from doing other stuff.

Anyone? https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4112/feh-on-all-workspaces/?comment=4141#comment-4141In the meantime I have been puzzling a bit and found a workaround that may point to a solution: Starting fullscreen from feh (feh -F) will bypass the wm, but starting feh normally and using fullscreen from i3 ($mod+f) works. It has trouble going DIRECTLY to fullscreen though, new pics start tiled.Sun, 06 Jul 2014 11:38:16 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4112/feh-on-all-workspaces/?comment=4141#comment-4141Comment by tigrezno for When on my Raspberry Pi (Raspbian) with i3dm I use feh as my image viewer in Fullscreen mode (feh -F), it appears fullscreen on ALL my workspaces, thus blocking me from doing other stuff.

I can move to other workspaces without problems.

I DID read the question. Running feh -F is broken in his/her configuration although it seems not to be so on my end as feh -F runs fine for me, my solution will enable feh to "go DIRECTLY to fullscreen" as Maestraccio stated he/she wanted.Sun, 06 Jul 2014 21:14:59 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4112/feh-on-all-workspaces/?comment=4148#comment-4148Comment by ANOKNUSA for You can make all feh instances automatically fullscreen by adding this to your config file for_window [class="Feh"] fullscreen https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4112/feh-on-all-workspaces/?comment=4147#comment-4147You didn't read the question carefully.Sun, 06 Jul 2014 20:51:15 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4112/feh-on-all-workspaces/?comment=4147#comment-4147Answer by tigrezno for When on my Raspberry Pi (Raspbian) with i3dm I use feh as my image viewer in Fullscreen mode (feh -F), it appears fullscreen on ALL my workspaces, thus blocking me from doing other stuff.
