https://0x0.st/zxcZ.png Why am I seeing the firefox window when I have my Emacs window focused? The white on the sides isn't a border, it's firefox, and it's quite annoying. Any fix?

Was anyone able to have a transparent background? I've set my wallpaper with Feh and set Terminator to be transparent and it didn't work.

(Many compositing managers are tied to the corresponding WMs, for example, KWin)

The problem is: Emacs has Strong Opinions on acceptable window size. So given your frame size, there is a space where Emacs will refuse to draw in any case

Well, no thanks. I figured a hack anyway. If I call emacs with -fs, the initial frame is fullscreen, then I unfullscreen via F11, and Emacs fits perfectly with no ugly border, and no firefox showing.

I have a crazy function that does set-window-geometry to something really small (half the frame size), _then_ calls redisplay (it is less likely to fall below the redraw threshold)

MichaelRaskin: A similar thing happens with gnome-terminal. On the left is gnome-terminal and mpv, on the right emacs (called normally) and firefox: https://0x0.st/zxct.png

The only terminal that seems to behave how I'd like, fitting the full width and height of my monitor minus the modeline, is rxvt. Sorry, I'm still not familiar with StumpWM terminology

ST, gnome-terminal, and xterm all are displayed with other applications showing since they don't fit the whole screen. Kind of funny.

Or write some combination of set-window-geometry invocations that are enough to fool the terminals
