get rid of video window's gray title bar?

is it possible to change the appearance of the video window using max for live or the live api? i'm spanning a 12x3 video across three external 4x3 monitors and the only thing keeping it all from looking fullscreened is the gray title bar (and its execrable red x).

(fyi: double clicking the window fullscreens the video to only one of the external monitors, not all three. AND i'm not using the matrox, i'm using iomega usb to vga video cards. i know, i know, but it's working for my purpose: they actually handle 640x480 video fairly well. anyway, my goal is to span a 24x3 video across 6 4x3 monitors!)

who needs the title bar anyway? you can close the window with hotkeys. the title bar is redundant and unsightly. ableton should take a cue from modul8 in this regard.

in the meantime though i just need to get rid of the video window's title bar. anyone know how to do this with m4l or live api? thanks.

this is great! specifically though, i need to get rid the title bar of live's built-in video window (i.e. the one that opens when you have a video in the arrangement and click "View>Video Window" or cmd-opt-v on mac).

does the api offer a path to live's built-in video window?

I don't think you've got much choice for the Live window - they almost certainly need the title bar to dismiss the window and drag it.

hmmm... is there a way to change the color of the title bar to black?

can you access the video window with the live api?
