I've set up my Raspberry in that way, that it opens up Midori on start up. Midori then loads a html page in full screen mode. Everything works as expected.

But I also specified a refresh interval with the parameter -i 3600. The problem occurs after the first refresh of the page because after that refresh is the navigation bar shown.

Someone had the same problem here: Raspberry Pi Forum.

His solution was to switch from Midori to Minimal Kiosk Browser (kweb). But I don't want to do this.

So is there a way to hide the navigation bar after a refresh?

    no one seems to have created a bug for that, so it is unlikely to get fixed unless you can fix it yourself, it is open source. bugs.launchpad.net/midori – rob Sep 30 '14 at 10:37
  • @rob So should I create a bug for that? Because I don't think, that I can fix it by myself. – winklerrr Oct 6 '14 at 8:12
  • yes, that is what I meant to say. – rob Oct 6 '14 at 8:16

    So here is the bug: bugs.launchpad.net/midori/+bug/1377831 I added it right away when you mentioned it, but I forgot to add the link here. Sorry for that. – winklerrr Oct 22 '14 at 7:45

I use xdotool to solve the problem.

I created a bash loop every 60 seconds. This script is launched with autostart lxsession

#!/bin/bash

while true
do
    WID=`xdotool search --name "TITLE OF PAGE IN MIDORI" | head-1`
    xdotool windowfocus --sync $WID 
    xdotool click 1
    sleep 60
done

  • I edited your post mostly for grammar (and indenting the code) but also corrected some errors: 1) There is no point in using a second shebang, #!/bin/bash, anywhere inside a bash script. It will just be ignored as a comment (you might as well make it #!/Hey/whatever). 2) A do loop should be closed with done.
