I would like to have the 2nd window(the control one) minimized when using guvcview.
I have guvcview in my startup programs.
Hi, @fixit7 
You've asked:
Hmmm... I have never user "guvcview" ("GTK+ UVC Viewer" - https://guvcview.sourceforge.net/ ), but can't you simply click the minimize button of that window to minimize it?

Could use wmctrl - e.g. Can I minimize a window from the command line? - Ask Ubuntu
You'll need to write a script and then add it to your startup programs.

Ok. I do not know which window to minimize. It the one with the controls, not the video itself.
if you start guvcview with the option --gui=none , it hides the control panel
