Package: disable gtk3-csd, install gtk3-mushrooms (gtk3-classic) -or- gtk3-nocsd

[star-buck]

PREFERRED: gtk3-classic is the Manjaro package, the arch (AUR) entry and upstream name is gtk3-mushrooms: https://github.com/TomaszGasior/gtk3-mushrooms https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk3-mushrooms/ https://forum.manjaro.org/t/gtk3-classic-gtk3-mushrooms-gtk3-with-my-own-patches/

---

ALTERNATIVE gtk3-nocsd:

• add kwin script: https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1235093/

• package and add gtk3-nocsd: https://github.com/PCMan/gtk3-nocsd

• apply gtk3-nocsd (add /etc/profile.d/gtk3-nocsd.sh):

  export GTK_CSD=0
  export LD_PRELOAD=<"full path" of your libgtk3-nocsd.so.0 file>

• hide gtk3 title via ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css:

  .title {
  color: transparent;
  }

@NuLogicSystems : how can we best add this to rc5? And share with @llelectronics , @shadeslayer ?

[NuLogicSystems]

IDK the thought of using this never crossed my mind, I'd have to reasearch it. However, I did find these. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk3-nocsd-git/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-libgtk3-nocsd-git/

[NuLogicSystems]

@star-buck, I also just found this: https://sources.debian.org/src/gtk3-nocsd/3-1/

[NuLogicSystems]

Manjaro on the hand packages gtk3-classic and lib32-gtk3-classic that are built using https://github.com/TomaszGasior/gtk3-mushrooms

Oberon packages these for use on mate, xfce, etc. as an alternative to the default gtk3. Here is the thread: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/gtk3-classic-gtk3-mushrooms-gtk3-with-my-own-patches/

This is what I use on my personal home PC (Enlightenment): http://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-5b48e301976c87.93288778.jpg

IMHO, I like it's defaults much better, it doesn't require using any scripts, setting any environment variables, or adding any gtk.css changes, just to achieve the desired effect.

[NuLogicSystems]

OK, I'll need to take another look at the AUR packaging again. I've never used this gtk3-nocsd hack before, so I don't know how it looks or act's. I've only used the gtk3-mushroom patches for GTK3 (gtk3-classic).

[NuLogicSystems]

OK, I'm almost done packaging what is needed. No offence, but I do have to say though, that was a lot of jumping through hoops just to do the same thing and actually less than gtk3-classic does.

[NuLogicSystems]

Building ISO now. For debian testing and unstable branches, the existing packages are slightly different than for arch, but they should still work the same way. https://packages.debian.org/testing/gtk3-nocsd

Note: The apply gtk3-nocsd as listed above is not seccesary when using the existing packages.

[star-buck]

What does classic do? Any screenshots of e.g. gnome-chess with only classic installed? How is it made to be applied once installed? On Jul 17, 2018 20:16, "James Kittsmiller" notifications@github.com wrote:

I already included a link to a screenshot from my Enlightenment PC above. But I'll embed it this time: This one has a few gtk3 apps running, but I'll do another one with gnome-chess as well.

The gtk3-classic package was created by the original developer of gtk3-mushrooms with the help of oberon. Here is a link to the readme from github on what his patches do: https://github.com/TomaszGasior/gtk3-mushrooms/blob/master/README.md

There is nothing to do once gtk3-classic is installed, this is a patched version of GTK3. You just replace gtk3 with gtk3-classic and your done. However, there are some enviroment variables that can be set if you wish to undo (bypass the changes) and revert to the normal gtk3 defaults.

[NuLogicSystems]

Here is another screen shot from my Enlightenment computer where I use gtk3-classic:

[star-buck]

Can you post a screenshot how gome chess looks like just by installing gtk3-classic on netrunner rolling? What else needs to be set (like profile settings?) to have classic activated and kwin render the window-decorations around gtk3 apps?

Nothing needs to be set, unless you need to bypass any changes the patches make. I'll need to remove the packages and settings I just made for gtk3-nocsd on my NRR box first. Give me a few minutes to do that.

[NuLogicSystems]

Here you go:

I removed all of the gtk3-nocsd and kwinscript packages and settings, and then installed only the gtk3-classic package in place of gtk3, nothing else needs to be done.

[star-buck]

That looks exactly like expected. Lets go with that then and see if it can be applied on Debian as well.

[NuLogicSystems]

Sounds good. The rc5 ISO is building now, will push it to the server once it's finished.

[star-buck]

@shadeslayer @llelectronics : is gtk3-classic available for debian as well? if not, can we package it?

[llelectronics]

It is not available in debian.

[NuLogicSystems]

gtk3-classic is the Manjaro package, the arch (AUR) entry and upstream name is gtk3-mushrooms: https://github.com/TomaszGasior/gtk3-mushrooms https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk3-mushrooms/ https://forum.manjaro.org/t/gtk3-classic-gtk3-mushrooms-gtk3-with-my-own-patches/

It was discussed for debian at one point, but never went anywhere: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=890434

[shadeslayer]

I highly doubt Debian would package those since the maintainer himself claims that the quality of the patches isn't great.

We can look into packaging it up for Netrunner though.

[NuLogicSystems]

That's only because of his limited knowledge of C programming. However, when he brought these to the attention of Manjaro (forum link above), they were examined, discussed, and ultimately packaged for the Manjaro repositories.

Note: We've been shipping with these by default in the rolling edition with no issues. It would be nice if this could be packaged as star-buck suggested/requested for Debian as well.

[star-buck]

@shadeslayer @llelectronics : lets package gtk3-mushrooms (aka gtk3-classics) for debian in our own netrunner repo. I'll test it once available by manually installing first, then decide if we ship it default or not.

[TomaszGasior]

Hello. I am gtk3-mushrooms author. It's nice to hear that you are interested in using my patchset. I am not using netrunner nor I am not going to but I can help you by answering eventual questions about gtk3-mushrooms here. I am using gtk3-mushrooms daily since first release on my all computers.

(BTW gtk3-mushrooms is official name of my AUR package. gtk3-classic name was chosen by Manjaro maintainers for binary package.)

[star-buck]

@TomaszGasior : Thanks a lot! If we have any questions or need help we appreciate to get back to you.
