5 years ago Hi @behrangsa,
This is because Wayland didn't provide the absolute coordinate system, so this won't work on Wayland.
However, you can use GDK_BACKEND=x11 guake, using x11 as the backend for guake should let you use it on Wayland.

5 years ago Thanks for the suggestion @mlouielu, but unfortunately it doesn't work for me.

5 years ago Is this something that can't ever be implemented in Guake for Wayland?

5 years ago FWIK, this is not implantable in Wayland, since the absolute coordinate system is not implemented, any operation involved with that is not workable in Wayland.

5 years ago Apparently Wayland supports absolute positions. Also there are some apps/extensions that can handle window positioning under Wayland with no issues (e.g. the gTile extension for Gnome can move windows to left, right, top half, bottom half, and other more complex locations without any issues).
Is Guake using GTK 2 or 3? Looks like GTK 2 is not working properly under Wayland.

5 years ago I think gTile is Gnome-only, some of the window managers will implement their method for positioning (e.g. yakuake in plasma have the positioning extension), I'm not sure if this the case about gTile. Can you also point out which apps can doing this, I would like to take a look for it.
Relative window positioning is what Wayland is doing, and the last time I glimpse the GTK source code, it shows that the absolute positioning methods are deprecated by them. Mailing list relative with this: 1
I don't sure if GTK have changed in recent month. If that is the case, we can figure out how to support this in guake. Otherwise, I don't holding too much expectation on this based on my previous Google-fu result :(
Guake is using GTK3 after 3.x, GTK2 version guake is not maintain.

5 years ago I don't know much about Wayland, but my interpretation of this page is that Wayland supports absolute positioning: https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/absolute-axes.html

Hope it'll be implemented in Wayland one day.
Describe the bug
Horizontal alignment is ignored:
Expected behavior
When I set horizontal alignment to center or right, and set the width to less than 100%, the Guake window should be aligned accordingly.
Actual behavior
When I set horizontal alignment to center or right, and set the width to less than 100%, the Guake window remains left aligned.
