Package: xfwm4 Version: 4.12.3-1 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
Latest xfwm4 package with default themes for Xfce desktop do not have clear markers for active windows anymore. In older default themes the active window title was marked with blue'ish background and the others were gray. This was easy for users to spot and comes from the tradition of Windows 3.1 etc :) Now the default theme only shows a gray window title text in non-active window and dark gray in the active one. Also the upper right corner window action buttons are with darker gray background in the active window and white gray in the non-active windows. But these are really difficult to spot. As a simple desktop user I would like to see the old blueish title background in the active window. This way I don't have to learn new tricks and focus my eyes on newer window decorations/elements. This change is rather new in Debian unstable but has been reported/discussed in upstream mailing list before: http://xfce.10915.n7.nabble.com/changing-the-active-window-title-bar-color-td42750.html The new all gray theme also affects CPU usage graph which has only light and slightly less gray bars which are for impossible for me to distinguish. This very hack'ish and crude patch to the installed package helps a bit but is way too ugly to be used for a real implementation. Would be really nice if some UI designer had a look at this issue. Maybe Debian could help upstream with this. diff -up /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4/backup/title-1-active.xpm /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4/title-1-active.xpm --- /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4/backup/title-1-active.xpm 2015-06-14 21:22:16.181781539 +0200 +++ /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4/title-1-active.xpm 2015-06-14 21:28:15.165623079 +0200 @@ -1,8 +1,8 @@ /* XPM */ -static char * title_active_xpm[] = { +static char * title_1_active_xpm[] = { "4 29 2 1", -" c None", -". c #C0C0FF s active_color_2", +" c None", +". c #3B52FF", "....", "....", "....", diff -up /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4/backup/title-2-active.xpm /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4/title-2-active.xpm --- /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4/backup/title-2-active.xpm 2015-06-14 21:22:16.181781539 +0200 +++ /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4/title-2-active.xpm 2015-06-14 21:28:15.165623079 +0200 @@ -1,8 +1,8 @@ /* XPM */ -static char * title_active_xpm[] = { +static char * title_2_active_xpm[] = { "4 29 2 1", -" c None", -". c #C0C0FF s active_color_2", +" c None", +". c #3B52FF", "....", "....", "....", diff -up /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4/backup/title-3-active.xpm /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4/title-3-active.xpm --- /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4/backup/title-3-active.xpm 2015-06-14 21:22:16.185781586 +0200 +++ /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4/title-3-active.xpm 2015-06-14 21:28:15.169623118 +0200 @@ -1,8 +1,8 @@ /* XPM */ -static char * title_active_xpm[] = { +static char * title_3_active_xpm[] = { "4 29 2 1", -" c None", -". c #C0C0FF s active_color_2", +" c None", +". c #3B52FF", "....", "....", "....", diff -up /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4/backup/title-4-active.xpm /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4/title-4-active.xpm --- /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4/backup/title-4-active.xpm 2015-06-14 21:22:16.185781586 +0200 +++ /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4/title-4-active.xpm 2015-06-14 21:28:15.169623118 +0200 @@ -1,8 +1,8 @@ /* XPM */ -static char * title_active_xpm[] = { +static char * title_4_active_xpm[] = { "4 29 2 1", -" c None", -". c #C0C0FF s active_color_2", +" c None", +". c #3B52FF", "....", "....", "....", diff -up /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4/backup/title-5-active.xpm /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4/title-5-active.xpm --- /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4/backup/title-5-active.xpm 2015-06-14 21:22:16.185781586 +0200 +++ /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4/title-5-active.xpm 2015-06-14 21:28:15.169623118 +0200 @@ -1,8 +1,8 @@ /* XPM */ -static char * title_active_xpm[] = { +static char * title_5_active_xpm[] = { "4 29 2 1", -" c None", -". c #C0C0FF s active_color_2", +" c None", +". c #3B52FF", "....", "....", "....", Thanks! -Mikko -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Foreign Architectures: armhf Kernel: Linux 3.18.0+ (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
