Guest Name on Menu Bar

[David Hayward]

I found a workaround. I hadn't looked at using remote-viewer.

When maximised the combined title and menu bar seems to work well and it covers the host's panel so no accidents! 👍

Hi All,

I run multiple guests, each running 'full screen' in a different workspace on the host.

I either run them using 

a) the 'Toggle fullscreen' keyboard shortcut from XFCE on the host, which leaves the virt-manager menu bar (and toolbar if enabled) visible.

b) the Fullscreen option from the View menu inside virt-manager which hides everything.

Unfortunately, just maximising the window, which leaves the window title visible, also leaves the host XFCE panels visible, and I have been known to hit the wrong panel by mistake! 🤪

What I was wondering, was if there was anyway of putting the Guest Name on the virt-manager menu bar, so I can still see which guest is which as I move between workspaces on the host?

Of course, I'm also open to other suggestions on ways to know which guest is which. I do use desktop backgrounds, panel colours to help but these don't always work.
