Description Matthias Kretz 2008-04-21 13:09:54 UTC

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... :-)

Comment 3 Camilla Boemann 2008-04-21 13:55:06 UTC

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.
