and yet there are some people on this list that feel that blackbox is fine as is. Sure, this is an eye-candy issue... but still, it's a bug, period. > I've added code to bbkeys to allow decoration toggling (toggleDecor, > which will add or strip decorations from the currently-focused window) > and went as far as I can go. ok... is this a patch to bbkeys, or is it in the main distro? how do I utilize this function? also, if I start an app without decorations, is it's upper-left corner in the same position as if it HAD decorations? or is it displaced by the space that the decorations would actually take up? I ask because I can live without moving SOME of my apps, but in order to do this, I have to place them.. and I want to just move them (with decorations) to get the coordinates... and then once I move them... I can reexecute them with the coords, and without decor. > Blackbox's internals are broken also with > regards to being able to tell other apps what the decoration state of a > given window is. where is this functionality useful? > I've patched blackbox to at least tell external > applications whether a given window is decorated or not, but it really > does no good because there's the other problem in which blackbox acts > like it's going to let you move or resize a now-undecorated window, but > doesn't really do it. > another bug. see above statement! > I've approached Raven (who responded to me, but it's been so long I > forget what was said) of course, you archive your email, correct? :) so you could easily load up your personal archives, to find out what's up. :) > and nyz (who said that the version of KDE that he > runs doesn't have that issue =:) ) about this and it never went > anywhere. haha... so basically, in short, nyz has given up on bb? > > So, Jeff, if you're out there, is there any update on where this falls > on the official blackbox TODO list? > better question: IS THERE a todo list? and is there any update at all WRT blackbox development?
