[Bug 1606369] Re: Compiz ‘Thumbnail Window Previews’ artefacts (further fix +)
After some more testing I came to the conclusion that proportionally balanced shadows (as proposed by David Black) will result in improved appearance when using a light theme (and will be OK for dark themes, too). Also, with that fix in effect, it is sufficient to change the value of org.compiz.profiles.mate.plugins.thumbnail.border from 12 to 15 (instead of 19) in order to completely eliminate the reported artefact. Consequently: Alternative solution revisited: Apply the fix proposed by David Black AND change the value of org.compiz.profiles.mate.plugins.thumbnail.border from 12 to 15. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1606369 Title: Compiz ‘Thumbnail Window Previews’ artefacts (further fix +) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mate/+bug/1606369/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1606369] Re: Compiz ‘Thumbnail Window Previews’ artefacts (further fix +)
The solution proposed by David Black won't eliminate all artefacts related to the thumbnail window previews. To see this, apply the proposed solution and then just type "wish" in a MATE-Terminal. The resulting window has a geometry of 200x200, and the corresponding thumbnail still gives rise to the reported artefact. Same problem with any other top-level window having a sufficiently small size. Alternative solution: Change org.compiz.profiles.mate.plugins.thumbnail.border from the value 12 to 19 (or higher). With this patch, I could no longer reproduce that annoying thumbnail artefact, regardless of whether the change proposed by David Black was in effect or not. BTW: IMHO, the shadow effect generated by the original offset value of 6 (for active-shadow-x-offset, active-shadow-y-offset, inactive- shadow-x-offset and inactive-shadow-y-offset) looks better than the one corresponding to the proposed offset value of 2). Of course, this is just matter of taste. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1606369 Title: Compiz ‘Thumbnail Window Previews’ artefacts (further fix +) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mate/+bug/1606369/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
