Buttons for additional windows #105

Closed konradb90 closed 9 months ago

konradb90 commented 1 year ago

I work with JAVA applets that run in full window mode. This is the correct behavior.

JAVA applets also have a virtual keyboard mechanism, which we can enable from the options menu. In the docker container it looks like this: https://gyazo.com/caeb39e001ae333971659e55997ee789

I would like to include navigation buttons for additional windows to make it look like this: https://gyazo.com/e634d47f24c03cf4920a88469d1aa76a

Is it possible?

I solved this by adding a simple script:

sed -i 's/<decor>no/<decor>yes/' /etc/X11/openbox/rc.xml
openbox --restart

Perhaps there is a better solution that you can recommend ;)

Looks like you need to properly identify the main window. See: https://github.com/jlesage/docker-baseimage-gui#maximizing-only-the-main-window

Unfortunately, this solution does not work. Both windows (main and virtual keyboard) have exactly the same parameters (name, type, etc.). Decoration in this case is disabled regardless of which window I choose.

If you are sure that all _OB_APP* properties are the same, then there is no way for the window manager (openbox) to apply different settings for each window.
