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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
