VcXsrv full screen

I have installed Ubuntu on my windows via wsl. I have followed this guide:

Currently the GUI is being opened in frame, but i want to make it open in full screen mode. Is there any chance i can do it?

screenshot of VcXsrvHere is the script to launch VcXsrv :

' define variables
dim application_object, shell_object, userprofile, command_object, standard_output_string
' create application object
set application_object = createobject("shell.application")
' create shell object
set shell_object = createobject("wscript.shell")
' store environment variable
username = shell_object.expandenvironmentstrings("%username%")
' run powershell in the background
application_object.shellexecute "powershell", "-file c:\users\" & username & "\.ubuntu\scripts\reload_vcxsrv.ps1", "", "", 0
' wait for powershell script to complete
wscript.sleep 3000
' create command object
set command_object = shell_object.exec("wsl genie --is-in-bottle")
' store standard output
standard_output = command_object.stdout.readall
' execute contents if shell is inside the genie container
if instr(standard_output, "inside") > 0 then ' run bash script shell_object.run "bash /mnt/c/users/" & username & "/.ubuntu/scripts/start_desktop.sh", 0
' execute contents if shell is outside the genie container
else ' run bash script shell_object.run "wsl genie -c bash /mnt/c/users/" & username & "/.ubuntu/scripts/start_desktop.sh", 0
end if

For starters, that doesn't look like the script that starts VcXsrv. According to the blog post you referenced, that's found here, and is:

# stop vcxsrv proccess that contains "0.0" in the program window title
get-process vcxsrv | where { $_.mainwindowtitle -like "*0.0*" } | stop-process
# start vcxsrv process in a large program window on display number one
start-process "c:\program files\vcxsrv\vcxsrv.exe" -argument ":0.0 -ac -nowgl -multimonitors -dpms"

Second, according to the VcSrv docs, the commandline option -fullscreen is what you are looking for.

Try modifying the script above and adding -fullscreen to the commandline.
