Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources OS: Linux The rounded corners of the oxygen win-deco make mouse events in the corners go below the window. That's logical, but I think it would be better to extend the clickable area of the window into those corners because a) it gets easier to resize a window if the area where you can drag the corner gets bigger b) If a window is maximized, a click in the top-right corner closes the window. If a not-maximized window, aligned to the top-right corner is above that and you click in the top-right corner the window below gets closed. Case b) is, IMHO, a major problem. I have closed too many windows I didn't want to close already.
I don't think i can do anything about this. It is a problem originating from X Maybe the day we are sure to have argb visuals all the time
Ah. If you could use an alpha channel in the win-deco then you could fix this? At present you're using a mask and that mask gets applied to both the mouse events and the "presentation"? I have working ARGB visuals. Perhaps that could optionally be used in kwin? I guess that would kind of make this report a wishlist item then... :-)
yes that is exactly the case. Unfortunately i don't think i'm able to tell when I have argb visuals or not. setting pri to wishlist
KWin seems to contain code which handles those "corner cases". Making it actually work would solve this problem.
