Public bug reported: Hi,
When a window is maximized, its borders/decoration should not be visible. With xfwm4 however, when you maximize a window its top border remains visible. But in the maximized state the top border is useless (clicking and dragging it does nothing), it just wastes screen space. Most xfwm4 themes have very thin borders, so this issue is not very visually obvious. However with a theme that has thicker borders (e.g. the "Mofit" theme) it looks quite ugly. I reported this bug upstream, see https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7436 In the mean time, it would be good if it could be fixed in Ubuntu. I believe the fix involves adding a couple of lines to the frameTop() function in src/frame.c, like this: int frameTop (Client * c) { TRACE ("entering frameTop"); g_return_val_if_fail (c != NULL, 0); if (FLAG_TEST (c->xfwm_flags, XFWM_FLAG_HAS_BORDER) && !FLAG_TEST (c->flags, CLIENT_FLAG_FULLSCREEN) && (!FLAG_TEST_ALL (c->flags, CLIENT_FLAG_MAXIMIZED) // This condition added || !(c->screen_info->params->borderless_maximize))) // This condition added { return c->screen_info->title[TITLE_3][ACTIVE].height; } return 0; } ** Affects: xfwm4 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/904958 Title: xfwm4: top border still present when window is maximized To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/904958/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
