process such as vedit,ped etc.?

Are you talking about the icon/name in the tasks bar at the bottom of the
screen, or the name of the sub-program in the pterm window?

If it is the pterm case – the pterm utility has a format string for
the title bar that can be modified. It can be controlled by the
“pterm -t” option, or as the “Window Title” field in the pterm properties
(right-click on the pterm window, select “properties”).

If it is the icon in the window bar, it will display the text that is
in the title of the pterm window, so, for pterms, this will also change
what you want.

I’m guessing that he may mean more like kiosk mode.

No title bar at all.

I know this can be done but I don’t think it can be done for programs
that you didn’t write yourself. I wish it could.

I spawned “ped” (editor) from one of my applications. It covers the entire
screen. But I don’t want users to be able to resize,minimize etc the editor.
That’s why I would like to disable/hide the title bar.

Thanks in advance,
Shashank

Well, if you don’t run pwm at all, then no windows will have title bars,
resize handles, etc. (Though, this may also make a bunch of other things,
like control of keyboard focus, raising/lowering windows, etc, which the
window manager does far more painful.)

pwm does have a few “remote” options, as sub-options for -R, you might
experiment with what effect they.
