@prvrami

unclutter &
xset -dpms
xset s off
xset s noblank

that turns off screen saver and power mgmt

matchbox-window-manager &

that must be the trick

I thought the same thing but it doesn’t work. Still the same after cutting the line you mentioned…

@sdetweil
yeah, looks like i need to start from scratch. I honestly don’t know why i can’t go fullscreen…

Update: Reinstalled everything from scratch, still the same. Changed the sd card, reinstalled again and everything worked flawless. Cheers!

For anyone experiencing similar problems, another solution could be to build midori from source.

With midori v7.0.2 (latest you can install for raspberry os at the time of writing) I couldn’t get rid of the tab bar and some window borders. Building midori v9.0 from source it works nicely in full screen mode with the parameter -e Fullscreen. See description how to do that here https://github.com/midori-browser/core . There are also some related and resolved issues on github.
