Completely borderless KDE Konsole


Does anyone know how to make a KDE console completely and totally borderless so that it looks like this:

http://www.gentoo.org/images/shots/godoisw.jpg

I have managed to remove most of the borders except for a very small gray border. Any ideas?

I am using Ubuntu KDE 3.4.3 with kernel 2.6.12

Using KDE 3.4.xx, you can click on the upper-left most window border-top icon, click Advanced -> No Border. Then from the regular konsole window, use the "Settings" menu, and you can hide the menubar, and hide the tab bar, and hide the scroll bar. That gets you mostly borderless. I want to know how to remove all of the border though.

My new closets solution to this issue is currently a program called eterm. Install it, and its normally executable name is Eterm. Run it for the first time without any arguments to get familiar with it to see if it will suit your needs.

You can turn off the scroll bars from within the program. Once you have finished setting up the settings as you wanted and saved them, you can close the program and re-execute it with the argument 'Eterm --buttonbar=off'

This will turn off the menu bar and you will have a truly borderless console! Too bad it does have a more functionally menu system or more customizations, plus tabs. But oh well. Hopefully KDE will soon give us the option to run konsole without borders for REAL! Stupid little inner frame.
