Add GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DIALOG (for tiling WMs) #8

Closed deffi420 closed 9 years ago

deffi420 commented 9 years ago

This changes the default behavior of urn to create the application window in floating mode (i.e., as a popup dialog) instead of tiling mode when using a tiling window manager like i3. In my opinion, the popup dialog is more suitable for streaming and should be the default because the tiled window does not obey the 'width' and 'height' settings specified in the splits JSON file. The patch should not have any visible effect on a standard compositing window manager (please confirm this before pulling). See the illustrations below.
