Well, the CSDs are IMHO a highly questionable "feature" and not only completely useless for desktops (they might have some value on small- screen devices like smart phones) and the way upstream implemented it or better said, the way upstream projects that use CSDs implemented it is the typical GNOME hostile way: not obeying other peoples needs, not being compatible to long proven standards and concepts. So AFAIU, there is no real automatic way of getting back proper old looks (i.e. wit menus, etc. as you wished)... and unless the respective projects upstream supports both modes (CSD / non-CSD) as e.g. gnome- terminal seems to do (at least so far),... the results we get from gtk3-nocsd is the best one can have. It's not necessarily perfect, but that's rather the fault of CSDs, less of gtk3-nocsd.... and at least it gives people back proper window decorations. So IMHO, it's still pretty valuable for non GNOME3 users. > > I've CCed, Christian, the gtk3-nocsd maintainer (and as it seems > > most active upstream dev)...perhaps he has some ideas to share > > about this one. > > You don't seem to have done this. mhh.. strange... I though I'd have added him in reportbug. CCing him again now, just in case he's interested. Cheers, Chris.
