  Hi.
 
  1. It is fixed in Unity-3D, which has been the default since 12.10
 

 No it's not. I'm using Unity-3D, which is also the default in 12.04, and
 borders aren't equal when it comes to resizing. It's almost imposible for
 me to grab top and left borders, while bottom and right are pretty easy to
 grab. I'd say there's at least a 3-4 pixels difference between the two
 cases.

Code-wise its exactly the same for the right, left and bottom borders.

The top border doesn't have the padding as it already has a grab area on
the titlebar.


 And no, it's not funny seeing how a basic usability like this is not being
 properly addressed after six years.

   This bug is fixed in unity-3d since ubuntu 11.04.
   It still exists in unity-2d and will never be fixed as unity-2d is no
longer supported since ubuntu 12.10 (see comment #343).

   *

   This should mostly be fixed for Natty and might get backported to
   earlier releases as well.

   For Precise (12.04)  this is again broken for unity-2d (as of 17.7.2012
unity-2d 5.12.0-0ubuntu1.1).
   Note that if the window has a scrollbar, you can grab that to resize
the window. If not, you are stuck with the 1px border. Workaround: NONE
KNOWN (see comment 320)?

   *

   *Blueprint for Natty, Ubuntu 11.04:

   https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/packageselection-
   dx-n-resizing-windows

   Work items1 * Make sure the new resize grip fits in current
applications; doesn't interfere with anything. We should make some noise
about this during the Natty cycle so people keep their eyes open and file
bugs.
   2 * Invisible window resize area - around 3px invisible area to allow
resize on all sides.

   *

   Working grip backported to gtk2 already available in ppa :
   https://launchpad.net/~bratsche/+archive/gtk

   *

   Workaround for Compiz/Unity: Alt+Middlemousebutton resizes a window
   most comfortably.

   Workaround:  Edit /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/metacity-1/metacity-
   theme-1.xml.  Set the following values in frame_geometry_normal as
   desired:

   distance name=left_width value=3/
   distance name=right_width value=3/
   distance name=bottom_height value=3/

   

   Binary package hint: metacity

   - The issue has been an issue for users (especially of large) screens
   for several releases- Trackpad users seem to be particularly impacted
   by this- The issue appears to have been significantly aggravated in
   Lucid by changing the border width from 3 pixels to 1 pixel

   The window borders in metacity are far too thin to be used for
   comfortable window resizing, and resize handles are not available in
   all applications (or even most). In fact, of all the windows I have
   open right now, not a single one of them has a resize handle. The
   result is that I get a lot of misses when I try to drag a window
   border, which usually results in my clicking on the wrong window
   altogether. The best fix for this usability bug is to create an
   invisible region around each non-maximized window about 4px thick
   that can be used for resizing (in addition to the visible border). Or
   perhaps there should be a border thickness option on the System 
   Preferences  Windows dialog (although the default thickness should
   still be increased considerably). Ideally all windows would also have
   a resize handle but I realize that these have to be application
   controlled (at least that seems to be the position of the metacity
   team).

Hi.

1. It is fixed in Unity-3D, which has been the default since 12.10
2. It isn't worth fixing in Unity-2D, since it would require extensive
patching to metacity's frame display code
3. Comments like these are not helpful.

 That said I want to resize my windows at ANY border not just in the

You already can.

There's a small amount of invisible padding on every side of the
window in Unity3D. This has been the only desktop installed since
12.10, and is the default desktop since 11.04.

Click and drag around the edges to resize the window.

Done.

Not likely. Adding the invisible window borders to metacity's
non-composited mode is likely a nontrivial affair.

[Bug 1036752] Re: [quantal] [regression] Gnome Classic has no compiz plugins loaded

2012-09-28 Thread Sam Spilsbury
Hi Jason,

The way we made this work back in the days of Natty was to just use an
environment variable to switch between the two sessions. This was done
through /etc/compizconfig/config .

That mechanism should still be there. As long as COMPIZ_CONFIG_PROFILE
is set to  in a gnome-classic session, it should pick the general
profile.

As far as I can tell, we aren't shipping a Default.ini in
/etc/compizconfig/ If we just ship that there with a list of plugins to
load, it should just pick that.

 Invisible borders are not implemented in unity-2d


 Are they technically infeasible or could they be implemented with some
 effort? If so, where should they be implemented?

They can be implemented with some effort, but its difficult when
you're not compositing because its another set of windows to be
tracking (you can't reparent an InputOutput window into an InputOnly
window, which means that you can't abuse reparenting like we do in
compiz in order to do this easily)

They'd belong in metacity in that case.

   No more comments needed 

  This should mostly be fixed for Natty and might get backported to
  earlier releases as well.

  *

  *Blueprint for Natty, Ubuntu 11.04:

  https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/packageselection-
  dx-n-resizing-windows

  Work items1 * Make sure the new resize grip fits in current applications; 
 doesn't interfere with anything. We should make some noise about this during 
 the Natty cycle so people keep their eyes open and file bugs.
  2 * Invisible window resize area - around 3px invisible area to allow resize 
 on all sides.

  *

  Working grip backported to gtk2 already available in ppa :
  https://launchpad.net/~bratsche/+archive/gtk

  *

  Workaround:  Edit /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/metacity-1/metacity-
  theme-1.xml.  Set the following values in frame_geometry_normal as
  desired:

  distance name=left_width value=3/
  distance name=right_width value=3/
  distance name=bottom_height value=3/

  

  Binary package hint: metacity

  - The issue has been an issue for users (especially of large) screens
  for several releases- Trackpad users seem to be particularly impacted
  by this- The issue appears to have been significantly aggravated in
  Lucid by changing the border width from 3 pixels to 1 pixel

  The window borders in metacity are far too thin to be used for
  comfortable window resizing, and resize handles are not available in
  all applications (or even most). In fact, of all the windows I have
  open right now, not a single one of them has a resize handle. The
  result is that I get a lot of misses when I try to drag a window
  border, which usually results in my clicking on the wrong window
  altogether. The best fix for this usability bug is to create an
  invisible region around each non-maximized window about 4px thick
  that can be used for resizing (in addition to the visible border). Or
  perhaps there should be a border thickness option on the System 
  Preferences  Windows dialog (although the default thickness should
  still be increased considerably). Ideally all windows would also have
  a resize handle but I realize that these have to be application
  controlled (at least that seems to be the position of the metacity
  team).

 yep, it regressed for me too. and to make the matter worse, the gtk

They will be back once we work out what caused the performance
problems in the unity decorator (xrender is really really slow on
intel recently)

Are you running unity-window-decorator?

ps aux | grep unity-window-decorator

IT could also be that you have those themes installed locally and they
are conflicting with the themes that specify the new borders.
