Title:
Open new windows in the middle of the screen
Status in ubuntu-settings package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
When opening a new new window in gnome-shell it comes up in the top
left corner. This is not desireable since it creates a lot of "black"
there in dark themes and it has some pixels of a bright background
theme shining through due to window headerbar being rounded.
Gnome solved the "pixels shining through thing" upstream by having
that corner rounded in a gnome-session. But this is not feasible in
the Ubuntu session because the Ubuntu dock is there and the corner
cannot be rounded.
Having new windows come up in the middle of the screen would be more
pleasing visually: It doesn't look crammed (dark headerbar + dark top
bar) by default and the background pixels shine only "through" if you
choose to drag the window to that corner.
On the Ubuntu Community HUB Carlos Lobrano suggested to toggle a
switch in Mutter to change the default position for new windows. It's
center-new-windows under /org/gnome/mutter
