Hi. I am trying to overlap VLC (Since I don't want to have any title bar, top bar; I just want a windowsless player) on another fullscreen application. Is there any solution to solve this ??

Something like this

I have tried fakexinerama but I want something that can overlap.

Your image link isn't working for me. For me, fullscreen apps seem to behave as expected - I can still Alt+Tab between windows as normal. But since I can't see your image, I don't really know what you mean by "overlap." Do you mean that the other window is visible through ​the one on top in some way?

Yes.

It is something like playing game as full screen. But I can also have a vlc player on the bottom without any title, top bar , border.



0 = vlc
2 = game

And a minimalist VLC skin (https://www.videolan.org/vlc/skins.php?sort=rating) won't do the job? I think you could still set it to Always On Top....

Because I want only showing video without any top-bar, control-bar, menu, or any windows decoration like close minimized.

I want something like dummy where doesn't show anything. but remove the top bar.

Since I am playing a UDP streaming video, although I make a pure video screen and it works for local video. However, when it comes to UDO stream, VLC will open another windows and won't follow the skin setting.

Yeah, I don't know. Prior versions of Ubuntu would allow you to selectively undecorate windows, I think, but I wouldn't know where to begin doing it now with the Unity window decorations and whether or not it'd be possible. And I doubt if there's a minimalist player out there that would give you the same features. Weird that VLC isn't following your skin settings universally, too. = .
