spacing when cascading windows #747

Closed gsabdiv closed 1 year ago

gsabdiv commented 1 year ago

It's probably more a feature request than a bug. When cascading windows, the positions are being calculated on the title bar size, ignoring the border size. When having big borders because of a small, but hi-res screen, it would be nice to have cascading postitions by adding title bar and border size - or maybe have a configuration option for extra spacing.

Sounds reasonable. Is it easy to add a screen dump? Just the area where it looks wrong. What DPI means hi-res?

gsabdiv commented 1 year ago

Physically, the resolution is 180 DPI, but X11 is set to 96 and no scaling applies. I just increased the border size from the default of 6 to 10, so it's easier to grab. Here's what I get when I cascade xterms (Ctrl+Alt+Esc, select windows, right click, cascade) with the default border size of 6 and the default title bar height of 20: cascade_default_border

But with a border size of 10, the title is partly hidden after cascading (xterm does have a different font size here): cascade_border_10

If you like, you can test if this suits you.

Looks good to me, Ticket resolved.
