I'm working on creating a lightweight kiosk screen, so i have installed xorg and chromium. I am currently testing it in a VM, and i have a quite annoying problem. Whenever launching chromium there is a black padding around the window shining through to the console underneath. How can i make the chromium window scale to the window fully?



Here is a picture illustrating the problem.
