Feature request: have titlebar only when window is floating #12

Closed Pablo1107 closed 2 years ago

Pablo1107 commented 4 years ago

Adding to the features you're adding maybe another thing may be a setting that allows the titlebar only to show if the window is on floating mode.

Additionally, nice only adds window decorations to clients that have the titlebars_enabled property set to true. So configure your client rules accordingly.

maybe you can use rules to enable the title bar for the floating window.

Those rules don't affect the titlebar when switching tiling/floating, and other things.

I found some discussions about this.

@maaaaf yes, I have some signals to workaround this. But I'm also using a feature branch of awesome which corrects some issues when removing/adding titlebars to clients. I'm actually waiting for that to be merge and will make a PR with this feature here.

The problem is nice adds "titlebars" on all four sides of the window to create the border plus the anti-aliased corners. So what would be the desired behavior:

a) Remove all the window decorations from tiled windows. You can maximize screen real-estate that way. or b) Keep the window decorations but create a very small titlebar at the top so that tiled and floating windows follow a consistent style.

Neither of those options are a hassle to implement but I am curious about what would people prefer.

I imagine b is the correct option here, but currently I'm doing a because lazyness.
