Closed muzena closed 6 years ago

muzena commented 8 years ago

In Titlebar Shade, Menu and Sticky options are unavailable. shade

JosephMcc commented 8 years ago

To be a bit more accurate it's missing shade, menu and sticky options.

muzena commented 8 years ago

@JosephMcc Yes I didn't noticed that this two options is missing too. I don't understand Sticky option, what is her purpose, when I click on Sticky icon in titlebar notihing happens.

JosephMcc commented 8 years ago

"Sticking" a window means it will show on all workspaces.

alxgvr commented 8 years ago

Yes, there is no shadows. White background of a window merges with another window.

JosephMcc commented 8 years ago

@alxgvr did you post in the correct issue? Your comment makes no sense.

Cos-mo commented 8 years ago

There are 3 icons, that can be added to the title bar via window settings, but are not added by default.

Add them and you will find, that only Mint-X (and Crux) as control theme do show them. Mint-Y does not show any of them. (Other of the preinstalled themes show them partly but this is not the concern here, just for completeness.)

JosephMcc commented 8 years ago

Need to come up with a good design/style for them.

Cos-mo commented 8 years ago

I suggest for the beginning to use the icons from Mint-X - just as the Mint-Y icon theme is at now only a copy of Mint-X. This would restore the full compatibility between Mint-Y and the Cinnamon feature regarding the title bar.

@JosephMcc Maybe you find some good icons here: https://materialdesignicons.com/ I'm not sure if the license of the icons are compatible with Linux Mints, but JabRef is using them. And some of them look familiar to yours, e.g. close button.

Some themes are using for the menu icon the icon of the window. For example the theme Bright is doing this.

Maybe you can do that for Mint-Y, but instead of using the original icon use a monochrome version of it. So the menu button on a firefox window is represented by a monochrome firefox icon.

Downside of this idea is, that for every application you have to have a monochrome icon version.

JosephMcc commented 7 years ago

Thanks for the info. I don't think you can depend on an app providing a symbolic version of it's icon though.

NikoKrause commented 7 years ago

I feared so. Hope you find some gold ideas anyway.

NikoKrause commented 7 years ago

Are you still searching for symbols for this icons? If yes, how about this icons for shade: shade-down shade-up

NikoKrause commented 7 years ago

And for sticky icons maybe a pushpin: bildschirmfoto vom 2016-10-30 22-50-25 paper-pin

EDIT: I thought the icons in this comment are from https://materialdesignicons.com/ But they are from http://www.webalys.com/nova/ They have some free icons and some icons you have to pay for. So I'm not sure if their license is compatible with Linux Mints policy.

NikoKrause commented 7 years ago

Here are the pin icons from https://materialdesignicons.com/ bildschirmfoto vom 2016-10-31 14-26-49

Another suggestion for shade, based on an icon from the free icon pack from http://www.webalys.com/nova/ window window2
